Web Browser

What is a Web Browser?

A web browser is a software application that lets you access, retrieve, and view web pages and web applications on the internet from your device.

A web browser communicates with a web server, negotiating a connection, handling security, and displaying the data the server returns. Examples of popular web browsers include:

  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Opera

What devices have web browsers?

Many web browsers are cross-platform and available for desktops, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, smart TVs, and even in-car entertainment systems. This means you can reach the web from almost any modern device.

Web browsers and MIDAS

Our browser-based MIDAS room booking system is supported on all major web browsers. Because MIDAS runs entirely in the browser, there is no software to install - you simply log in and start managing your bookings from any supported device.
