A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources. A web browser can also be defined as an application software or programme designed to enable users to access, retrieve and view documents and other resources on the Internet.
Although browsers are primarily intended to access the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by web servers in private or files in file systems. The major web browsers are;
- Firefox,
- Google Chrome,
- Internet Explorer,
- Opera, and
- Safari
FEATURES OF A WEB BROWSER
Outlined below are the main features of Microsoft Internet Explorer and what they do, your web browser may be slightly different from Microsoft Internet Explorer but the main features are likely to be the same.
The Browser Window
The above screenshot shows the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser window – the main part of the window is taken up by the web page. If you wish to learn how to navigate around a web page please visit the Navigation section of this tutorial.
The web browser has various tools located above the displayed web page, these are known as Toolbars, there are additional tools available on the left hand side of the browser called the Explorer bar, and at the bottom of the web page is the status bar.
We will start by looking at the tool-bars, as you will see when looking at the toolbars there operation is inter-linked with the Explorer bar.
1. Menu Bar
The Menu bar is normally located at the very top of the web browser, as you can see it has various sections – File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools and Help, when you left click on each of these sections a drop down menu appears enabling you to do various actions as follows. (Note that not all functions are mentioned – some functions are not normally required when navigating the world wide web – however the major functions are all discussed.)
2. File – The file menu deals with the current open document, from here you can open a new document such as another web page, save the web page, alter the page set-up, print the web page, send the web page by email and find out the properties of the web page.
3. Edit – The edit page enables you to copy details from a web page to your clipboard (The clipboard saves the details so you can paste the copied material into another document). The edit section also allows you to find (on this page) – this allows you to look for a certain word on a web page.
4. View – The view section enables you to change some browser settings; you can select what toolbars you wish to display. For example you can decide not to show the radio toolbar if you don’t use it. From this section you can also amend the text size of the web page.
5. Favorites – From here you can create a list of favourite web sites, the chances are that your Internet Service Provider has already given you a starting list of web sites; If you wish to add more to your favorites you can do it simply in this section.
6. Tools – The tools section provides some other useful tools, one of the most important sections here is the Internet Options – from this area you can control your security settings.
7. Help – The help sections gives you various help functions and version details.
8. Standard Buttons
The next toolbar is the Standard Buttons toolbar and it should look like the above. Going from Left to Right the functions are:-
- Left pointing arrow– This will move you to the web page previously visited, if you select the down arrow next to this a list will appear of the previously visited pages – you are able to select any of these pages.
- Right Pointing arrow– This will move you forward a web page if you have moved back.
- The X button– This will stop the current web page from being downloaded.
- The Revolving Arrows– This will download the current web page again, in case it has not download properly or it may have been updated (EG A page displaying latest sports scores)
- The Picture of a House– This will take you to your home page.
- The Favorites button– This will open the Explorer bar to the left of the web browser – the explorer bar will contain your favourites.
- History– This will open the History of the browser in the Explorer bar. It will include previously visited web sites to enable you to go back to them.
- The Address Bar
The address bar details what page on the Web or even your local computer is being displayed. The address bar is the quickest way to navigate to a website if you know the website address. Simply type in the address and click the go button.
17. The Links Bar
The Links Bar operates similar to your favorites option and provides a direct link to some websites – management of the links bar can be controlled through the favorites drop down menu.
The Radio Bar
The Radio Bar allows you to access online radio stations and play music through the internet.
So that is what basically makes up a web browser, as mentioned early there is also a status bar, this is located at the bottom of the web page and currently you should be able to read text that says “Happy Online”. The status bar can display various messages; it is most useful when you are following links on a web page. As you know when you point at a link your mouse pointer changes to a hand, if you look at the status bar the web address where the link goes should appear. (However be careful web programmemers can code the status bar to do other things!)
IMPORTANCE OF WEB BROWSERS
The following are the benefits of web browsers
- Speed
A browser should be able to quickly load WebPages, no matter how dynamic the content. “Over 65% of today’s Web content is made up of images and videos. Over 35 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute. This is a far cry from text-based Web pages of the past. As the web becomes more interactive, so should the browser evolve to handle the increased amount of data going through it.”
Speed and stability is particularly important for people given their Internet activities. According to a research, People engage in heavy web applications, as 99% watch videos online, 61% upload videos, and 85% upload photos. The study, which conducted the survey in 30 countries, cited that Filipinos are on the top of online photo, video sharing, and social networking activities.
- Simplicity
A browser should also be simple and easy to use. It shouldn’t take up a lot of screen space, which would be better saved for the Web page a user is actually trying to view. Google Chrome, for instance, has stripped away everything but the bare minimum in order to let users focus on web content and not on the browser itself.
- Security
Browsers should also be very secure, as malware is a constant threat on the Internet. There are two ways browsers can mitigate this. A browser can keep itself up to date with the latest security patches without having to rely on a user to download these patches every time vulnerability needs to be addressed. With Google Chrome, for instance, a user always gets the latest version on his machine, automatically.
