It is really funny when you meet someone, who still do not know, that he need a browser to access the internet web pages. Well software developers actually try to make the world exactly this way. They want to give the people everything they need by clicking just one button. Yet when people grow up and still do not know what is a browser, it is not funny anymore, but rather annoying. Google is not a browser, nor it is the internet. To use Google and most of its services you need a browser. The browser is a computer program that need to be installed on the computer and with this fun game we get to know most of the popular web browsers. Here is what states Wikipedia: A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for accessing information on the World Wide Web. Each individual web page, image, and video is identified by a distinct URL, enabling browsers to retrieve and display them on the user's device.
A web browser is not the same thing as a search engine, though the two are often confused. For a user, a search engine is just a website, such as google.com, that stores searchable data about other websites. But in order to connect to and display websites on their device, a user needs to have a web browser installed. |
