A report on WorldWideWeb and Nicola Pellow
Almost immediately after Berners-Lee completed the WorldWideWeb web browser for the NeXT platform Pellow was tasked with creating a browser using her recently acquired skills in the C programming language.

Second web browser ever created.
In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee had already written the first browser, WorldWideWeb (later renamed to Nexus), but that program only worked on the proprietary software of NeXT computers, which were in limited use.
The team recruited Nicola Pellow, a math student intern working at CERN, to write a "passive browser" so basic that it could run on most computers of that time.

The first web browser, called WorldWideWeb, was created in 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
He then recruited Nicola Pellow to write the Line Mode Browser, which displayed web pages on dumb terminals.
