Definition - What does Web Browser mean?

A Web browser is a software program that allows a user to locate, access, and display Web pages. In common usage, a Web browser is usually shortened to "browser." Browsers are used primarily for displaying and accessing websites on the Internet, as well as other content created using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Extensible Markup Language (XML), etc.
Browsers translate Web pages and websites delivered using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) into human readable content. They also have the ability to display other protocols and prefixes, such as secure HTTP (HTTPS), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), email handling (mailto:), and files (file:). In addition, most browsers also support external plug-ins required to display active content, such as in-page video, audio and Flash content.
