The term 'POPULAR WEB BROWSER' can be solved by the 8-letter word 'NETSCAPE'. Netscape was one of the first web browsers to become popular in the early days of the internet. It was released in 1994 and quickly became the most widely used web browser until it was overtaken by Internet Explorer in 1997. Netscape is still used today, although it has been surpassed by other browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
