A '''web browser''' renders [[web pages]]. Its main purpose is to load and display graphical pages on the [[internet]]. The original internet browser was NCSA Mosaic.<ref>http://www.livinginternet.com/w/wi_browse.htm</ref> Netscape<ref>http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/history/fbrowser.html</ref> and AOL would dominate the space early on.

The five major web browsers currently in use; [[Internet Explorer]] (IE) (replaced by [[Microsoft Edge|Edge]]) , [[Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]], [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]], [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]], and [[Chromium (web browser)|Chromium]]-based browsers, including [[Google Chrome]]. IE currently holds the largest "[[market share]]" in desktop browsing but this is being eroded by [[mobile phone]] and tablet browsers from Apple and Google. The independent browsers Opera and Firefox are well positioned and compete across multiple platforms.

Other browsers are carving niches such as Dolphin for Android phones or [[Pale Moon]] for Atom processors. [[Microsoft]] has introduced a new browser with [[Windows 10]] to replace IE, called [[Microsoft Edge|Edge]].
