Browsers are software applications that retrieve and display web pages, images, and other files from servers on the World Wide Web. As a client, the browser runs on a user's computer and requests information from web servers, which respond by sending the requested information back to the browser to be displayed. Modern browsers can interpret HTML, applications, JavaScript, AJAX and other web content, and include plugins to display multimedia and perform other tasks like video calls or web design. The most popular browsers currently are Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Opera.
