What Is A Browser?

It both amazes me on some levels that people don’t know what a browser is, and on the other hand makes perfect sense. It really explains why the education process for my job with clients is so crucial. For the record, this is hosted by Google and they love it when people do not know the difference between a search engine and a browser. What a great opportunity for them to capitalize on the the general public’s’ ignorance and get them using their browser Chrome. Which coincidentally is based off of webkit, the open source browser being developed by many people including Apple who use if for their browser Safari.  In my opinion though the best browser out there and one that supports the latest in web standards and allows for serious customization, Firefox.
