  • A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for accessing information on the World Wide Web. Each individual web page, image, and video is identified by a distinct Uniform Resource Locator (URL), enabling browsers to retrieve these resources from a web server and display them on a user's device.

ToDo: To be merged with NetworkApplication#Web_browsers.

There are several web browsers available in Debian, including:

Graphical browsers

  • Firefox - open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation

  • Konqueror - the default web browser under KDE

  • GNOME Web - (epiphany-browser package) simple yet powerful GNOME web browser targeted at non-technical users
