Web browsers are used by people to find and look atwebsites on theInternet. The first web browser was created in 1990. Many web browsers are available for free. All web browsers can go to websites but each browser has good things and bad things about it. For example, some browsers focus ondata security and keeping computers safe fromviruses. Other browsers are made so that web pages appear on-screen faster.
A web browser goes to a web page using a web address. It downloads theHTML file stored at that address. Itsbrowser engine then reads and translates the HTML file. The browser will then show the webpage on the screen as text,images and clickablelinks.
