The first web browser that integrated text and graphic (Mosaic) was two years old but it was Netscape that really kicked things off with the general public.

Netscape was only a few months old at this point.

Another essential component was real IP access by the end user. Up to this point your options for home use were sandboxed "on-line" services, telnet/shell accounts, or static SLIP service for power users. It was dynamic PPP and the emergence of dial-up ISP's that made browsers like Netscape usable by the masses. This started to happen on a wide scale around 1994-1995.

RFC1661 (PPP) was not formalized until July 1994.
