Internet Browser Defined

Paraphrased from this article:
Top 20 Internet Terms for Beginners

Internet users all access the web through a browser, which is included on computers and mobile devices at purchase. Other browsers can be downloaded online.

A browser is a free software package or mobile app that lets you view web pages, graphics and most online content.

The most popular web browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Edge (the new replacement for Internet Explorer) and Safari, but there are many others.

Browsers display web-pages. Each web-page has a unique address called a URL.

They convert HTML and XML computer code into human-readable documents.

Use More Than One Browser

Despite how proficient browsers are these days, surfing the web is complex. Different browsers may work better depending on your specific needs.

It's a good idea to have more than one browser installed.
