A web browser takes you anywhere on the internet. It retrieves information from other parts of the web and displays it on your desktop or mobile device.
The information is transferred using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which defines how text, images, and video are transmitted on the web. This information needs to be shared and displayed in a consistent format so that people using any browser, anywhere in the world can see the information.
Browsers translate the code used to create websites into text, images, video, and other elements. In other words, a browser takes something most of us don’t understand, like HTML and JavaScript, and turns it into the content we come to enjoy online.
Most devices with an internet connection come with a browser application. Web browsers aren’t the only way to access the internet, but they’re the primary way most of us access information and services online.
