Web browsers
Web browsers are applications that let users reach websites and view content on the internet. What qualities do they need to give users the best browsing experience?
- Speed and performance: web browsers should load pages fast and use system resources efficiently.
- Security: security is an important factor. A web browser should protect the user against phishing and malware and offer private browsing.
- Compatibility: a web browser should be able to display every type of website correctly and support the latest web standards.
