I. INTRODUCTION
A web browser is a software program to access information on the world wide web (usually referred to as a browser).
Upon requests by a user of a website a web page is downloaded from a database server by the web client and the link
on the screen is shown. A web browser is not the same as a search engine, although it is often frustrating in both. A
user is a search engine that only contains information about other websites, including Google Search, Bing or Yahoo.
In other words, a browser refers to an application or software while search engine refers to a specific website that is
capable of searching other websites. Nonetheless, a user must have a web browser installed to connect to the
website server and to view their web pages.
The aim of a web browser is to collector and display information resources on the Web on the device of the user.This
cycle starts when a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), such as https:/en.wikipedia.org, is entered by the user into the
web browser. Nearly all web-based URLs start with either http: or https: which means the Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) is used to access the URLs. For HTTPS: the browser-web server contact is encrypted for security and
privacy purposes.
A web browser is a computer-based software program that allows users to visit their favorite websites on the
Internet. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari and the Opera browsers are among the most
popular browsers today.
