## Browsers

A browser is a program designed to access the Progressnet. There are currently two browsers.

### Progress Browser

Progress Browser is the default browser for Progressbar systems. It is based on Internet Explorer. It is named differently in different versions of Progressbar.

* In Progressbar NOT 3.60 Server and Progressbar 95, it is known as **Progressnet** (based on older versions of Internet Explorer, which are called "Internet" on the desktop).
* From Progressbar 95 plus to 10 and Progressbar NOT 4.0 Server to Server 2011, it is known as **Progress Browser**.
* From Progressbar 1X to 11.22 and Server 201X to Server 2023, it is known as **Beige** (based on Microsoft Edge).

### Netwave Navigator

Netwave Navigator is based on Netscape. It is downloadable from ppp.netwave (which only appears in the first and second era). It features minor changes, such as moving the point counter to the bottom and placing bookmarks in a drop-down menu.

### Gosaic Waterglobe

Waterglobe is based on Firefox, and Gosaic is based on Mozilla. Waterglobe is the only browser that has tabs. It can be downloaded in the second or third era by going to ppp.gosaic.

## Websites

All websites start with pb://ppp, based on http://www, a prefix used in websites. pb:// is based on HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), while PPP (Public Progress Plexus) is based on WWW (World Wide Web).

You can find hyperlinks leading to different websites. Most of the websites also contain badges that say either "Progress Browser", "Netwave NOW!", "Made with Notebook" or two of the mentioned badges (only in the first era). On some occasions, a logon box will appear asking you to input a random number of asterisks.

Unknown websites and the personal site are hosted on a web hosting service.

* In the first era, the service is called **Progresscities**, based on the defunct Yahoo! Geocities.
