What is a browser?

A browser is a software application that is your gateway to the internet - a software programme installed on your computer enabling you to visit websites, navigate from web page to web page, print web pages and even email. Common browser brands include Internet Explorer, Netscape and AOL. Remember that if you use different computers in different locations e.g. a computer at work and a computer at home, you may have a different browser for each.
