Browser
A browser is an application program that provides a way to look at and interact with all
the information on the World Wide Web. The word "browser" seems to have originated
prior to the Web as a generic term for user interfaces that let you browse (navigate
through and read) text files online. By the time the first Web browser with a graphical
user interface was generally available (Mosaic, in 1993), the term seemed to apply to Web
content, too. Technically, a Web browser is a client program that uses the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to make requests of Web servers throughout the Internet on
behalf of the browser user.
