What is a Web Browser?

A web browser is a software program that allows users to explore, retrieve, and display information available on the World Wide Web.
It enables users to access and view information from anywhere on the internet.

Working of a Web Browser

A web browser retrieves information from other parts of the web using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
HTTP defines how text, images, and videos are transmitted on the web.
The retrieved information is displayed on the user's desktop or mobile device.
The browser uses a rendering engine to translate the retrieved data into text and images.
The data is written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and is read by the web browser to create the user's internet experience.

Displaying Information

The rendering engine ensures that information is displayed in a consistent format, making it accessible to users worldwide.
Hyperlinks within the retrieved information allow users to navigate to other related web pages.
