Tell the browser from the internet
Say what a browser is, and pick yours out of a list.
A browser is the program you look at websites through. Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox are different makes of the same tool.
It is not the internet itself. The browser is the window; the internet is the view.
Key points
- A browser is the program you look at websites through
- Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox all do the same job
What to remember
- Yours may be a different make. They all do the same job.
- The browser is the window. The search engine is the librarian.
