Eolas WebRouser

NCSA Mosaic-derived browser released in Sept. 1995 by Eolas (a UCSF spin-off): “Weblets” applets embedded in pages via the EMBED tag, client-side image maps, page-defined menus; billed as the first “cloud” browser, it is tied to the patents behind the Eolas v. Microsoft lawsuit (settled in 2007).
