browser definition

A web browser is a type of software that allows the visualization of documents and sites in hypertext, commonly grouped under the name of Web or Internet.

A web browser or browser is an application that operates through the Internet, interpreting files and websites often developed in HTML code that contain information and hypertext content from all over the world.

The most popular browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and a few others. Each of them has different characteristics, but in general there is a shared criterion that allows them to display both text and graphics, video, sound, animations and even run programs. In all cases, the browsing experience takes place through hypertext or hyperlinks, which allow you to go from one place to another, from one page or from one website to another with simple mouse clicks.

The main function of the browser is to quickly and easily make available to the user all the information that has been uploaded or included in the World Wide Web or, simply, the Web by users and developers from all over the world. Thus, at any time and place, through a simpler or more complex web connection, anyone can access the websites of institutions, companies, organizations, universities, libraries and individuals.

The browser has the express purpose of improving this experience, through the incorporation of functionalities that speed up navigation, or that offer the information in the best available quality.

Another essential function and interest of browsers is to ensure a safe experience for the user, protecting it from errors, viruses and other harmful elements that can be found on the web and affect the computer that performs the navigation.

Browsers are often used on computers, but also many mobile devices such as cell phones or palm computers can integrate these applications for use at all times.
