What is a Web Browser?

A Web Browser - or just "browser" - is the name given to a piece of software that enables you to view web pages on your device.

A web browser communicates with a web server, negotiating a connection, handling security, and returning data served by the web server.

Examples of popular web browsers include:

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

Many web browsers are cross-platform and are available for desktops, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, phones, smart TVs, and in-car entertainment systems.
