Web Browser

A web browser is a software program for retrieving and presenting web pages or other resourse on the World Wide Web. A web page or resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI/URL) and in addition to web pages may be an image, video, audio or other content. Hyperlinks present in web pages and resources allow users easily to navigate their browsers to related web pages and resources.

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

The major web browsers are Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari.
