What is Browser Software?
Browser Software is software that allows you to navigate, interact, and use content across the web. Browsers allow users to view web pages by sending a request for files to web servers. The servers then send back the requested file and display the web page on the user’s screen.
It is important to note the difference between a search engine and a browser. A browser is the connection point between a user and the internet. A search engine is an online tool that collects and displays links to other web pages and web content based on search criteria.
Browsers provide access to web pages and can also offer extensions that can extend the browser’s capabilities, from allowing different software integrations to increasing the depth of customization for the browser’s layout. Browsers can offer different features such as ad blocking, network security, and toolbar access.
Ad-blockers allow users to control which advertisement they see, and what information ads collect from them. Browsers that focus on network security continuously patch browsers to keep them safe for users. Toolbars allow users to bookmark webpages, programs, and online applications for quicker access.
