What we call a web browser is a software, which enables you to view web pages and other material. Even if you do not realize it, right now, you use a web browser to read this article. In the early 2000s, we had access to a single web browser Internet Explorer, which still comes pre-installed on any computer you purchase. In the mid-2000s, many other companies have introduced their web browsers. We discovered Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. A lot of new experimental features were launched — this motivated web developers for creating websites using Firefox and Chrome in mind.
Nowadays, most of the people keep several web browsers installed on their computers and other devices. In case you can’t open a website, you should just try to do the same in a different web browser. In most cases, this simple trick can solve the issue.
