A web browser is a computer program application for reading pages of the World Wide Web. Since the late 1990s, most personal computers and mobile phones and other mobile devices have a browser.
Web browsers are used to find and look at websites on the Internet. The first web browser was created in 1990. Many web browsers are available for free.

Other browsers are made so that web pages appear on-screen faster.

A webpage is one page of a website. Every web page has a web address.
A web browser goes to a web page using a web address. It downloads the HTML file stored at that address. Its browser engine then reads and translates the HTML file. The browser will then show the webpage on the screen as text, images and clickable links.
