A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI/URL) and may be a web page, image, video or other piece of content.

Short for Web browser, a browser is a software application used to locate, retrieve and display content on the World Wide Web, including Web pages, images, video and other files. As a client/server model, the browser is the client run on a computer that contacts the Web server and requests information. The Web server sends the information back to the Web browser which displays the results on the computer or other Internet-enabled device that supports a browser.
Browser Software Today
Today's browsers are fully-functional software suites that can interpret and display HTML Web pages, applications, JavaScript, AJAX and other content hosted on Web servers. Many browsers offer plug-ins which extend the capabilities of the software so it can display multimedia information (including sound and video), or the browser can be used to perform tasks such as videoconferencing, to design web pages or add anti-phishing filters and other security features to the browser.
The two most popular browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Firefox. Other major browsers include Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Opera. While most commonly use to access information on the web, a browser can also be used to access information hosted on Web servers in private networks.

If you have a Windows device, you'll have a browser program called Internet Explorer. If you have an Apple product, then you'll use a browser called Safari. There are also other browsers available, such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
To access the internet, you'll firstly need to click or tap on your browser program's icon. A browser window will open.

A web browser is a software application that people use in order to view web pages on the internet. It can be used to upload or download files on FTP servers. It uses security methods such as SSL and TLS to secure internet traffic. It also uses cookies to store information and it caches web pages to make internet surfing more efficiently.

Think about using the Web. How did you access your favorite websites today? Were you able to search using a search engine? Listen to music? Watch a video? Find information on something? Everything that you looked at during your travels online was seen via the platform of a web browser. Using the web is made much more easy and user-friendly by these programs; the Web would look quite different without them!


Web browsers are incredibly useful software programs that allow you to search for and view various kinds of information on the Web, such as web sites, video, audio, etc., putting all this information into a more easily accessible, viewable format. In other words, rather than seeing the "ingredients" of the various websites we like to visit, a Web browser makes it possible for us to see the finished product.

The Most Popular Web Browsers
Here are just a few of Web browsers available to download for free:

Microsoft's Internet Explorer: Most Internet users are using Internet Explorer because it's easy to use and most Web sites are written with Internet Explorer in mind, meaning that they are compatible.
Google Chrome: Yes, Google has its own Web browser, and just like Google, it's fast and easy to use.
Opera: Opera is another popular browser that's easy to use, and many people especially enjoy its' built-in privacy features.
Mozilla's Firefox: Firefox is rapidly gaining ground right behind Internet Explorer because of its tabbed browsing, superior security features, and fast load.
Mac Safari: Specifically for Mac users, Safari is an excellent choice for a Web browser, with fast load and good compatibility with most websites out there.

A web browser is what you used to get to YA and post this question in the WRONG section.

A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users to easily navigate their browsers to related resources.

Although browsers are primarily intended to access the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by Web servers in private networks or files in file systems. Some browsers can be also used to save information resources to file systems.
