Web Browser

A web browser is an application used to open and interact with web pages. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge are familiar examples. When a customer enters a cleaning company's address or follows a link from a search result, the browser requests the page and displays its text, images, and controls. A browser is not the same thing as a search engine. A search engine helps people discover pages; a browser is the software used to view them. Knowing the difference is useful when troubleshooting: a page that fails in one browser might have a compatibility issue rather than a problem with its visibility in search.
