opportunities for a better life a web
browser is a tool you use to access the
Internet in order to make the most out
of the internet it's important to
understand the basics of using a web
browser there are many different web
browsers including Chrome Safari Firefox
and Internet Explorer all of them allow
you to view websites but they each have
a different look and feel so picking one
will depend mostly on your personal
preference right now I'm using Chrome
when you open your browser at the top of
the window you'll see the address bar
this is where you'll type the web
address of the page that you want to
visit
if you've been to a website before your
browser may suggest it or even
automatically complete the address for
you if you see the address you're
looking for in the suggestions you can
just click it or press Enter when you're
done typing most of the time you're
going to go from one page to another by
clicking on links
to go back to the page you were just on
you can click the back button
to return to the first page click the
forward button if you see a link that
you want to click but you don't want to
navigate away from the page that you're
on you can open the link in a new tab
just right click the link and select
open in new tab
this opens the page
find the current page so it doesn't take
you away from the original site you can
also create a new tab by clicking here
and then typing in the address or name
of any site you want to visit
to close a tab just click the X if
you're on a website that you know you'll
want to visit again later or a website
that you go to frequently you can
bookmark it most browsers have a button
right next to the address bar that lets
you easily bookmark any site
once you've bookmarked a page you'll be
able to go to it again in chrome you'll
click the Settings button select
bookmarks and then select the website
you're looking for from the list
even if you don't bookmark a site
there's still a way to find it again
later your browser keeps track of all
the websites you visit in a feature
called history all browsers allow you to
access your history in Chrome you can
access this by clicking the Settings
button
you can then click on a site to go to it
and as you may remember from before you
can begin typing in the address bar and
your browser will make suggestions these
suggestions come from your history and
bookmarks the locations of these buttons
and other options may vary a little
depending on which browser you're using
but you should be able to perform all of
the same actions no matter which browser
you decide to use
