Highlight the link, and the browser will bring up the linked page. That page, in turn, could contain additional links. Suddenly the average person could begin to retrieve information on the Internet without great difficulty. The World Wide Web, then, is an organizing system within the Internet, which allows users to follow links to desired information. A browser is the software that enables users to search or browse the information on the World Wide Web.
Browsers provide an organized method for exploring data.
The University of West Florida uses Netscape Navigator as its browser, so most of the information in this guide will refer to this browser. URL URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, the electronic address for the specific site that you wish to visit. You simply enter the URL for the site you are seeking, and the browser takes you there. Every URL is unique. If you know the IP of a computer, you can enter that as the address and the browser will take you there.
