Browsers

A Web browser retrieves, translates, and presents information from the Internet to your display. It takes a document written in the HTML language and translates it into a formatted Web page. The result of this translation is a little like giving two human translators a sentence written in French and asking them to translate it into English. Both will get the meaning across, but may not use the same words to do so. Some applications play "nicer" with different Web browsers. Also, many hip and "bleeding edge" Web design features wreak havoc with different browsers and browser versions.
