What is it: Browser

Okay,  maybe you know what a browser is but a lot of people don’t. I know this because I used to work on a computer help desk and nine times out of ten when I’d tell the person on the other end of the phone to “open your browser” they would reply “what’s a browser” or “where can I find that”. You are almost certainly using your browser right now to read this web page. That’s what a browser is—a program that reads the code on a website and displays it to you as a web page. You are probably using Internet Explorer, the most popular browser, mostly because it comes with Windows. But there are other browsers out there, other better browsers in my opinion and that’s the reason I’m explaining the word browser to you now. On Friday I’ll tell you about what I consider to be the best browser and why.
