In its simplest terms, a browser enables one to retrieve information from the World Wide Web. Therefore, a default browser is the browser that starts up automatically when you click on a link in another program. The default browser opens links to websites that appear outside of Web Browsers, like links in an email program or liinks saved to your desktop.
