15 Minute Series What is a browser?


A browser can be graphical or text-based and can make the Internet easier to use and more intuitive.

A graphical browser allows the user to view images on their computer, "point-and-click" with a mouse to select hypertext links, and uses drop-down menus and toolbar buttons to navigate and access resources on the Internet.

To illustrate, here's part of a Netscape Navigator screen showing a site at the U.S. Census Bureau.
