A web browser is a software application that enables a user to display and interact with text, images, and other information typically located on a web page at a website on the World Wide Web or a local area network. Text and images on a web page can contain hyperlinks to other web pages at the same or different websites. Web browsers allow a user to quickly and easily access information provided on many web pages at many websites by traversing these links.

A web browser lets you visit sites on the internet. If you're reading this, you have a browser open right now. I like Internet Explorer (version 6, not 7, it sucks), and Mozilla Firefox. There are several other good ones, including MSN Explorer and Netscape Browser. You can even browse the internet with Real Player! Without a browser, you could not access any sites on the internet. Hope I've been of some help.
