A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for retrieving, presenting and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web.

Description

An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI/URL) and may be a web page, image, video or other piece of content.

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources.

Private networks

Although browsers are primarily intended to use the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by web servers in private networks or files in file systems.

Major browsers

The major web browsers are Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari.
