The online world is ever-growing. Thanks to a wide range of factors including the vast popularity of search engines and social media platforms. But that is not all. Internet browsers also play a major role in the online community. But what exactly are web browsers?
Simply put, web browsers are application software that helps users to access the World Wide Web. As a user, when you request a page from a particular site, your browser will retrieve the content from that site’s server and display it on your screen. Hence, it is not an overstatement to say that without browsers, it is impossible to access the vast amount of data present on the net.
Like social media platforms, there are lots of web browsers out there. And no doubt, Firefox sits amongst the top. But you may wonder why? To answer that, let’s take a look at some of its attractive features.
What Firefox is
Firefox, also known as Mozilla Firefox, is an open-source internet browser. Founded by Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation (a subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation), Firefox allows users to access info without stress. Furthermore, it has an easy-to-use interface. And it supports all platforms such as Android, Mac, iOS, Linux, and even Windows.
But it doesn’t stop there. Firefox also enables users to install themes to customize the look of the Firefox browser. Now, you may wonder why this is considered one of Firefox’s impressive features. The reason is simple – customizing the look of your browser makes it look more comfortable and attractive. It may sound surprising but many users would rather opt for a browser that allows for personalization.
