There are many ways to use the internet, A web browser is just one way. and it allows you to do many things. Some examples follow.

There are email programs (clients and servers) that are independent of a web browser. They allow managing your own email without using yahoo, gmail, hotmail, AOL mail, or any other facility that may examine your messages, save them, and/or supply advertisements based on your email content. There are many such packages, some are free, some cost money. Examples are Eudora, Pegasus, Pine/Alpine, and Thunderbird.

There are file transfer programs such as ftp, sftp, wget, their clients and servers. They allow files to be transferred between cooperating sites on the internet with varying degrees of security and encryption without going through a web browser.

You can use a telnet program (like putty), or just the telnet command to connect to another cooperating computer on the internet and open up a terminal session that lets you do things on the other machine.

A program called VNC , or one of its free or commercial equivalent programs, allows you to see a copy of another machines desktop on your own computer and even let you control its desktop and run programs from across the internet.

you are still technically connected to the internet you just wont be able to surf it without some sort of web browser i recommend mozilla firefox if you are worried about viruses or anything of that matter but if you are just using the internet and not really downloading much Google chrome and internet explorer are very fast and user friendly
