What is a Web Browser?

In simple Words a web browser is a


program used to
Interpret and view HTML documents.
OR
A web browser is a software application
for retrieving, presenting, and traversing
information resources on the World
Wide Web.
History
How all this started?

 The first web browser was invented in 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. It
was called WorldWideWeb (no spaces) and was later renamed Nexus.

 In 1993, browser software was further innovated by Marc Andreessen


with the release of Mosaic (later Netscape)

 Microsoft responded with its Internet Explorer in 1995, also heavily


influenced by Mosaic, initiating the industry's first browser war.

 Opera debuted in 1996.

 January 1998 was also the month that Netscape started the open
source Mozilla project.

 Google's Chrome, the most recent major entrant to the browser


market, first released in September 2008.
How Browser Work?

The browser main functionality is to present the web resource you choose,
by requesting it from the server and displaying it on the browser window.
The resource is usually an HTML document, but may also be a PDF, image,
or other type.
The location of the resource is specified by the user using a URI (Uniform
resource Identifier).
As You Write URL and hit GO button browser program sends a request
(Could I have the web page please?) to a web server program running on
the remote computer.
The server program, gathers the request from the web browser, tries to hunt
for the web page and then formulates a response.
How Browser Work? Contd.

If server was able to locate the web page, it sends the HTML file to the web
browser.
The browser picks up all the information coming in from the server and does
its best to display the web page.
A typical web page not only has text but also images and these are separate
files that need to be transferred from the server to the browser.
The browser-server communication goes on till all the files have been
transferred to the browser.
After that Browser-server connection is disconnected and Web Page is
Displayed on the browser window.
Add-Ons?

Add-ons, also known as ActiveX controls, browser


extensions can improve your experience on a website by
providing multimedia or interactive content, such as
animations.
They help our browser program to communicate with some
special type of Internet Files like Adobe shockwave player is
needed to watch videos online.
