User's Web Browser
The software (e.g., Chrome, Safari) that displays websites hosted on servers, interpreting code into readable content.
A user's web browser is the software application they use to access and view websites, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, or Opera. The browser acts as an intermediary between the user and your hosting server, sending requests for web pages and receiving the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and other files that make up your site. It then interprets and renders this code into the visual, interactive experience users see on their screens. Different browsers may display websites slightly differently, which is why testing across multiple browsers is important for web developers. Modern browsers include features like tabbed browsing, bookmarks, password management, and developer tools. They also enforce security measures, displaying warnings for sites without SSL certificates or known security issues. Understanding how browsers interact with your hosted content helps you optimise performance, ensure compatibility, and deliver consistent experiences to all visitors regardless of which browser they prefer.
