What is a Browser?

In computer science, a browser (or web browser) is a software application used to access and display websites on the World Wide Web. Common examples of browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

A browser allows users to navigate to different websites, view web pages, and interact with online content such as videos, images, and forms. It also provides features such as bookmarking, tab management, and privacy settings to customize the browsing experience.

The term "browse" can also refer to the act of exploring or searching for information on the internet using a browser. For example, someone might say "I'm just browsing the web" to indicate that they are casually looking around online without any specific goal in mind.
