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.
