Internet Info Page | AI Explains Web Browsers and How They Work

What is a Browser?

A web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, Safari) is a program that lets you visit and view websites on the internet.

How Does a Browser Work? (In 5 simple Steps)

1. You Type a URL (like google.com)

This is like giving the browser an address to go visit.

2. Browser Finds the Website

It sends a request over the internet to the server that hosts the website. Think of the server as the computer that stores the website's files.

3. Server Sends Back Website Files

These are mostly HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.

4. Browser Builds the Page

HTML: The structure (like headers, paragraphs, images). CSS: The style (colors, fonts, layout). JavaScript: The behavior (like buttons that react when clicked).

5. You See the Final Web Page!

he browser turns code into what you see and interact with.

Why Should You Care as a Web Dev?

Everything you write—HTML, CSS, JS—is interpreted by the browser. Knowing how it works helps you write better, faster, and more compatible websites.
