The source code for the vintage World Wide Web’s browser prototype rebuilt last week is now available at CERN’s gitlab instance. Clone it, download it, tinker with it, crash it and so on ... https://gitlab.cern.ch/nexus-project/nexus-browser

Hi all,

There is a project that has been running for the past one week at CERN, Geneva Switzerland to restore the origins of the distributed World-Wide Web system. It ended successfully last week with the deployment of a working emulator for the Nexus (originally named the World-Wide Web - www) browser for members of the general public https://home.cern/news/news/computing/developers-revive-first-web-browser-week-long-hackathon

Have some fun with it: https://worldwideweb.cern.ch/browser/
