Answer to Question 2

A Web browser is software that is used to access, view, and navigate the content on the Web. The most commonly used browsers are graphical browsers and can able to display images and multimedia in addition to text. Common features of Web browsers include tabbed browsing, and some form of privacy browsing. Most browsers have a single search and address bar. Google Chrome runs on any type of device and is compatible with any operating system, so specific settings and bookmarks can be accessible from any device used to sign into a Google account. Microsoft Edge is the newest browser from Microsoft and replaces Internet Explorer. Microsoft Edge offers a Reading View that removes distracting ads and other content from a page so the online article is cleaner and easier to read. With Microsoft Edge, you can also take clips of a Web page, add annotations, and share directly from the browser. Firefox is an open source browser, and Safari is used mostly on Apple devices.
