Nowadays, few people think through which browser to “enter” the Internet, and indeed what a browser is. We open and view a wide variety of web pages, create bookmarks, add sites to “Favorites” – all this happens due to the operation of the browser and the use of its basic and additional functions.
The Browser is a specialized program that provides a user with access to web pages and ensures that they are displayed and viewed as conveniently as possible.
Where and how browsers are used
Browsers appeared a little later than the Internet itself, but today, for the vast majority of users, these two concepts are practically inseparable. Modern browsers have high loading speeds and display most of the pages of websites correctly. They are usually included with the device software or are available for free download. Now browsers have taken root in the vast majority of mobile devices with Internet access: smartphones, tablets, Mobile Internet Device, cell phones and all kinds of communicators.
Almost all browsers are endowed with a whole set of useful functions that make it easier for users on the Internet. Almost all browsers have the ability to choose the interface you like, minimize “unnecessary” panels, add bookmarks, set automatic scrolling of pages, open new tabs in one window, etc.
Modern browsers are powerful enough applications capable of providing any person with full interaction with the global network. most of them have an intuitive interface that even a beginner can handle.
Which browser should I choose?
The most common browser is still Internet Explorer, recently updated to version 9. But its leading position is by no means an indicator of excellent quality. Everything is explained by the fact that Internet Explorer is the standard browser of the Windows operating system, which is installed on the computer by default. When it comes to the security of this browser, many online security experts consider it to be highly vulnerable to malware.
Which of the browsers to choose, each user decides for himself. Moreover, all these programs are free, and when choosing, you can rely on predetermined criteria. Some choose the most modern versions of browsers, others use the browser that is already installed on the computer by default, without attaching much importance to this, others install several browsers at once and choose the most convenient one in their opinion.
The latter option is the most preferable, since some pages of the sites may be displayed differently in different browsers. Incorrect display of web pages can occur due to the fact that the browser does not support the latest standards of the CSS and HTML languages. These are the languages that are used to develop websites. In this regard, the browsers Operа and Mozilla Firefox.
