Unlocking of Difficulties Well, this lesson is for you! So, join me in exploring the
world of Web Browser!

A web browser is a type of software that allows you to find and view websites on the
Internet. Even if you didn't know it, you're using a web browser right now to read this page!
There are many different web browsers, but some of the most common ones include Google
Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox.

No matter which web browser you use, you'll want to learn the basics of browsing the
Web. In this lesson, we'll talk about navigating to different websites, using tabbed browsing,
creating bookmarks, and more.

URLs and the Address Bar

Each website has a unique address, called a URL (Short for Uniform Resource
Locator). It's like a street address that tells your browser where to go on the Internet.

2
 When you type a URL into the browser's address bar and press Enter on your
keyboard, the browser will load the page associated with that URL.
In the example below, I typed www.filehippo.com/into the address bar.

Links

Whenever you see a word or phrase on a website that's blue or underlined in blue, it's
probably a hyperlink or link for short. You might already know how links work, even if you've
never thought about them much before. For example, try clicking the link below.

Links are used to navigating the Web. When you click a link, it will usually take you to
a different webpage. You may also notice that your cursor changes into a hand icon whenever
you hover over a link.

If you see this underlined word, it means you've found a link. You'll find other types of
links this way too. For example, many websites use images as links, so you can just click the
image to navigate to another page.

Navigation buttons
The Back and Forward buttons allow you to move through websites you've recently
viewed. You can also click and hold either button to see your recent history.

Tabbed browsing
Many browsers allow you to open links in a new tab. You can open as many links as
you want, and they'll stay in the same browser window instead of cluttering your screen with
multiple windows.

To open a link in a new tab, right-click the link and select Open link in a new tab (the
exact wording may vary from browser to browser).

Bookmarks and history

If you find a website you want to view later, it can be hard to memorize the exact web
address. Bookmarks, also known as favorites, are a great way to save and organize specific
websites so you can revisit them again and again. Simply locate and select the Star icon to
bookmark the current website.

3
 Your browser will also keep a history of every site you visit. This is another good way
to find a site you visited previously. To view your history, open your browser settings—usually
by clicking the icon in the upper-right corner—and select History.

Downloading files
Links don't always go to another website. In some cases, they point to a file that can
be downloaded, or saved, to your computer.

If you click a link to a file, it may download automatically, but sometimes it just opens
within your browser instead of downloading. To prevent it from opening in the browser, you
can right-click the link and select Save link as (different browsers may use slightly different
wording, like Save target as

Saving image
Sometimes you may want to save an image from a website to your computer. To do
this, right-click the image and select Save image as (or Save picture as).

Plug-ins
Plug-ins are small applications that allow you to view certain types of content within
your web browser. For example, Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight are sometimes used to
play videos, while Adobe Reader is used to viewing PDF files.

If you don't have the correct plug-in for a website, your browser will usually provide a
link to download it. There may also be times when you need to update your plug-ins. Review
our lesson on Installing and Updating Plug-ins to learn more.

Understanding hyperlinks
Have you ever noticed that certain words on the Web look a little bit different?
Whenever you see a word or phrase that's underlined in blue, it's probably a hyperlink or link
for short. You might already know how links work, even if you've never thought about them
much before. For example, try clicking the link below.

Links are used to navigating the Web. When you click a link, it will take you to a
different webpage. In the example below, we're clicking a link to learn more about the Cape
Hatteras National Seashore.

DOWNLOADING AND UPLOADING

While exploring the Internet, you’ve probably encountered the terms downloading and
uploading. Downloading means receiving data or a file from the Internet on your computer.
Uploading means sending data or a file from your computer to somewhere on the Internet.

These terms describe activities you may have already learned how to do. If you've ever
opened an example document in one of our tutorials, you've downloaded that file. If you’ve
ever shared a photo you took on Facebook or another social media site, you've uploaded that
photo.

Downloading
Usually, when you download a file you will start the download by clicking a link to that
file.

If you click the link, your browser should prompt you to select one of two methods for
downloading the file.

Open with will download the file and load it immediately in the specified program.
Save File will download it and save it to your hard drive.

Either way, once you click OK, the download begins. Your browser will indicate the
progress and time remaining on the download.

5
 Once the download is complete, either the file will be saved to your computer or it will
open in the program you selected. If you have trouble finding the file after you’ve downloaded
it, check out our Finding Your Downloads lesson.

Uploading
If a site allows uploads, it will have an upload utility to help perform the file transfer.
Each site handles this process differently, but we’ll give some common examples. Usually, the
site will have help pages to walk you through the upload process.

Many sites have an upload button that opens a dialog box. For example, Facebook has
a camera icon that begins the upload process.

A dialog box will appear, prompting you to select a file. Browse to the location where
your file is stored, select it, then click the Open button. Afterward, a progress bar tracking
the upload process will appear on the page.

Using Search Engines

With billions of websites online today, there is a lot of information on the Internet.
Search engines make this information easier to find. Let's look at the basics of using a search
engine, as well as some techniques you can use to get better search results.

How to search the Web

There are many different search engines you can use, but some of the most popular
include Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. To perform a search, you'll need to navigate to a search
engine in your web browser, type one or more keywords—also known as search terms—then
press Enter on your keyboard. In this example, we'll search for recipes.

After you run a search, you'll see a list of relevant websites that match your search
terms. These are commonly known as search results. If you see a site that looks interesting,
you can click a link to open it. If the site doesn't have what you need, you can simply return
to the results page to look for more options.
