Internet Browsers
– Your Window to the World Wide Web
Internet browsers are software applications that enable computer users to view and interact with images, text, and other information that is found on the World Wide Web. The images and text on web pages often contain hyperlinks to pages on the same site or different sites. Internet browsers allow for quick and easy access to data by clicking the various links.

An Internet browser must be used in order to surf the Internet. The appearance of a web page often differs among Internet browsers. This is mainly because an Internet web browser formats the HTML (hypertext markup language) info for display in a way that is specific to that particular Internet browser. While Internet browser software programs are generally utilized to access cyberspace, they can also be used to access content included in file systems or data supplied by web servers on private networks.
Internet browser software programs come with a variety of features. Common Internet browsers include search engine toolbars, spell checkers, and bookmark managing tools. Accessibility elements that may come with most Internet browsers are tabbed browsing, HTML access keys, popup blockers, page zooms, advert filters, incremental findings, voice controls, caret and spatial navigation, and text-to-speech features.
An Internet web browser is an extremely powerful tool. Although people commonly use web browsers to view website pages on a PC, it is not just for use on personal computer systems anymore. There are Internet browser software programs that can be used on handheld game systems, pocket PCs and mobile phones.
The beauty of today's Internet browsers is that most of them can be personalized to suit individual preferences and needs. This is made possible by Internet web browser accessories. These applications, also called plug-ins, aren't included in the initial web browser software package.
Some plug-ins are used to obtain high-quality audio and sound from sites while others deliver movies, virtual reality, 3D animation, MIDI soundtracks, and movies. A few deliver on-demand video and audio without the hassle of waiting for downloads to finish. Then there are those that enable the viewing of multimedia files directly on a browser. Readers provide access to PDF files located on the World Wide Web.
