A web browser is a piece of software that gives users the ability to access websites and web pages. These pages contain text, images and other information. This information is made available on the Internet. Web browsers work by fetching web pages from a web server using HTTP.
Popular browsers include:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Microsoft Edge
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Apple's Safari
Verifying that your browser is updated and doesn't have any malicious extensions or plug-ins is important for browser security.
