What's my web browser?

What is a web browser?

A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. These resources can be anything from simple text data to colorful graphics to streaming video content. Examples of web browsers include Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome.

Why does it matter what my web browser is?

The content presented on the World Wide Web is ever changing. Although there are standards to how the content can be presented, it is not a requirement for web sites to adhere to these standards. Additionally, these standards have evolved as the World Wide Web has evolved. In an effort to present the content of the World Wide Web with accuracy and accessibility, web browser developers must update their software applications to keep up. Web browser developers also update their software to correct issues and potential security flaws that could compromise your browsing experience. Ensuring that you have a current web browser ensures that you get the most out of the World Wide Web.

What is an Operating System?

The operating system (also called OS) is the program that manages a computer's resources and software applications (such as a web browser). Common OSes include Windows XP, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, etc.
