Browser:
Firefox is a free, Open Source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation. Firefox is the
fast, lightweight, privacy-focused browser that works across all your devices.

Terminal:

Workspaces:
Workspaces refer to the grouping of windows on your desktop. You can create multiple
workspaces, which act like virtual desktops.

For example, you might have one workspace dedicated to web browsing and research, another
for terminal sessions and command-line tasks, and yet another for graphic design or
programming work. Switching between workspaces enables you to focus on specific tasks
without cluttering your desktop with too many open windows.

Think of workspaces in Kali Linux like having multiple desks in your room. Each desk is like a
separate space where you can work on different things without them getting mixed up. So, if
you're doing research on one desk, you can switch to another desk to write code, and
everything stays organized. It's just a way to keep your work neat and tidy!
