All Web Browsers do basically the same thing. They open the door to the world wide web. Some have more features and some are more secure. internet Explorer 10, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome are all good choices. If you want simple and fast then choose Chrome. If you want lots of features and add-ons choose Firefox.

The most popular are:

Internet Explorer

Google Chrome

Firefox

Safari

Opera.

However, there are literally dozens of browsers that have existed since the "birth" of the internet. Not including mobile browsers (such as browsers found on some of the earlier cell phones), the list of major browsers that have existed are as follows:

WorldWideWeb

ViolaWWW

Erwise

MidasWWW

MacWWW

Mosiac

Cello

Lynx

Arena

AMosiac

IBM WebExplorer

Netscape Navigator

SlipKnot

MacWeb

iBrowse

Argo

Minuet

Internet Explorer

OmniWeb

UdiWWW

WebRouser

Grail

Arachne

Opera

PowerBrowser

Cyberdog

Amaya

AWeb

Voyager

iCab

Mozilla

Konqueror

K-Meleon

Galeon

Phoenix

Links

Safari

Epiphany

Firefox

AOL Explorer

Maxthon

Shiira

SeaMonkey

Camino

Avant

Sputnik

Netsurf

Flock

Chrome

These are in roughly chronological order, as presented by Wikipedia Other browsers have existed, but due to their low popularity were not included on this list. Low popularity, of course, is relative to the time era; WorldWideWeb never had as many users as Chrome does today, but was used by the majority of the Internet users in the world at the time it came out (as it was the first real web browser). In the real world, only a few browsers are considered serious contenders of the "market", as the rest are either obsolete, only fill a niche market, or have not yet gained popularity; the latter usually comes about because people are hesitant to "try" a new browser since their current browser has served their purpose for a significant length of time

a web browser is a software application that renders code written in HTML and Javascript that is located on a webserver.

There are three major browsers in the PC world. The most famous is Internet Explorer (IE) which is a Microsoft creation, and is bundled with the Windows operating system. Internet explorer has been prone to numerous security bugs and is considered the least secure out of all three major browsers. The second major browser is Firefox, which is amongst the most secure, and is the most easiest to use in my opinion. The third is Chrome which is a recent browser Google has released. It to is easy to use and secure for the most part.

In terms of the MAC platform the only major broswer is Safari, which is a Apple creation, and is bundled with the OS platform.

And of course, lets not forget my personal favorite, Opera.

A web browser is a software application which enables a user to display and interact with text, images, videos, music and other information typically located on a Web page at a website on the World Wide Web or a local area network.

Their is no ' Certain ' type of Internet Web Browsers. ( I may be wrong though, their may be ' Types ' of Web Browsers, but I have never categorized, or heard of browsers by their ' Types '; because they all basically do the same thing. So sorry if I am wrong. )

Their is some different ones though, here is a list of the ones that I know.

- Internet Explorer

- Google Chrome

- Mozzila Firefox

- Opera

- Safari

- Netscape Navigator

- Longator

- Maxthon

The last three of them in bold, are not that well known. So you may or may have not heard of them.
