Web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Opera browser and Microsoft Internet Explorer as we all know help their users usually when it comes to research and basis or references of the information that they want to acquire. In some other time, these browsers are used for entertainment. A web browser is defined as a software application which can be used in locating, retrieving and displaying the World Wide Web’s content. These include web pages, images, videos and other files. The web browser’s responsibility is to contact and request the web server for the information it needs. After the request from the browser, the web server then sends the information back to the browser which displays the results on the computer or other Internet-enabled device that supports a browser.
