Every time you go online, visit websites, browse different web pages, or go to your favorite email portal, you use a web browser. Web browsers are basically software programs that allow you to search for, and view various kinds of information on the web, such as web sites, video and audio. The browser gets in contact with the web server, and requests for information. The web server receives the information, and displays it on the computer.

                         A web browser is important because it allows anyone to ‘browse the web,’ by simply pointing and clicking, bypassing the need to know commands used in software languages. The parts of a browser include the status bar, address bar, title bar, tool bar, display window, and scroll bar. The most popular web browsers today are internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Google Chrome etc. To sum up, web browsers have helped shape the internet as we know it today, making web browsing a very pleasant experience.
