What is a browser?
A browser is a piece of software that acts as an interface between the
user and the inner-workings of the Internet, specifically the World Wide Web. Browsers are
also referred to as web clients, or Universal Clients, because in the client/server model,
the browser functions as the client program.
The browser acts on behalf of the user. The browser:
contacts a web
server and sends a request for information
receives the
information and then displays it on the user's computer
