The most important program on your computer
is your web browser-- and yet most people

00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:11.800
aren't sure which web browser they're using
or what a web browser even is.

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:16.980
Let me try to explain by first telling you
what a web browser is not.

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:20.919
A web browser is different from Windows or
Mac, which are systems that allow you to manage

00:00:20.919 --> 00:00:24.329
files and programs.

00:00:24.329 --> 00:00:31.169
And it's different from a search engine, which
is a website that is used to search the Internet.

00:00:31.169 --> 00:00:37.090
Instead, a web browser is a program on your
computer that allows you to visit websites.

00:00:37.090 --> 00:00:41.859
You get to your web browser by clicking on
its icon.

00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:47.190
From there, you enter web addresses and the
web browser displays the web pages for you.

00:00:47.190 --> 00:00:51.320
The web browser is the most important piece
of software on your computer because every

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.370
web page runs through it.

00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:58.800
So a faster web browser means that you'll
save time on every web page you open.

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:02.550
Installing a new web browser is free and only
takes minutes.

00:01:02.550 --> 00:01:05.480
So take a moment to choose a web browser that
you like best today.
