Webböngészt

Webböngészt is the Hungarian word for web browser. A web browser is a software application used to access information on the World Wide Web. When a user requests a web page from a particular website, the web browser retrieves the necessary content from a web server and displays it on the user's device. This process involves fetching Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) files, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity.

Modern web browsers are complex applications that handle a wide range of tasks. They interpret and render web code, manage cookies and cache for faster loading, support various internet protocols, and offer features like tabbed browsing, bookmarking, and private browsing modes. The visual appearance and layout of websites are determined by how the browser interprets the underlying code.

The first web browser, WorldWideWeb, was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. Since then, numerous browsers have been developed, each with its own strengths and target audience. Popular examples include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. These browsers are constantly updated to improve performance, security, and compatibility with emerging web standards. The choice of web browser can influence a user's online experience, affecting speed, privacy, and the way websites are displayed.
