AMSD Ariadna is the first Russian web browser ever developed.[citation needed] It was developed by Advanced Multimedia System Design (AMSD) in early 1994.

History

[edit]

To spread word of the Internet in Russia, AMSD researched the web browser in 1994. It was released in 1995 and was ported to Windows 95 and Windows NT.[citation needed]

By the time of its introduction, Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, two no-cost browsers, were dominating the Russian browser market. Ariadna, however, wasn't free software and, despite its high quality, failed to make a stance in the market and was terminated a few years later.[1]

Features

[edit]

Being a pioneer browser, Ariadna has limited functionality compared to today's browsers. Some features include:[1]

Ariadna does not support animated GIFs or JavaScript.
