What is it?
A browser is the program used to open websites.
Why would I need this?
You can use websites to read instructions, find a business, or complete a task.
Show me.
- Open a browser.
- Find the address bar near the top.
- Type a known website address and open it.
- Use Back to return to the previous page. A tab keeps another page open.
Try it.
Find the browser definition in the glossary, then return to this lesson.
Watch out for this.
A familiar logo does not prove a website is genuine. Check the full address.

The browser is the doorway. Each website is a place you visit through it.
