A web browser (often known as a browser) is an end-user application that allows for browsing web documents published at the World Wide Web. When a user requests a particular website, the web browser retrieves the necessary content from a web server and then displays the resulting web page on the user's device.

A web browser is not the same thing as a search engine, though the two are often confused.[1][2] For a user, a search engine is just a website, such as Google Search, Bing, or DuckDuckGo, that stores searchable data about other websites. However, to connect to a website's server and display its web pages, a user must have a web browser installed.[3]

In 2019, an estimated 4.3 billion people used a browser.[4] Google Chrome is the most used browser, with a 64% market share on all platforms, followed by Safari with 17%.
