We came across this video created by Google and realized that a lot of you may not understand exactly what a web browser technically is… for those of you that do you can probably skip this article.

We often discuss the importance of trying out different web browsers on your computer without considering that you may not understand what it all means. Your web browser is a program on your computer just like Microsoft Word or Outlook and within the browser you can use search engines like Google.

Here is a great article with a video to check out for more information on understanding what your web browser is and how it works.

As a web developer we primarily use Firefox because we can download and use a plethora of extensions that help us do our jobs. When designing and setting up websites we check the cross browser compatibility in Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox to make sure the website displays properly for all users across the web.

If you would like more info about web browsers or have any questions about how to ensure your businesses website is cross browser compatible please contact us.
