The very basic feature of Web Browsers is the ability to decode the source code of pages and navigate trough pages using the user's commands.

Basically, all web browsers have back and forward buttons, an address bar and bookmarks system.

A web browser is something like internet explorer, firefox, Google chrome, etc. Most of the top features people want are speed and protection. Now, I recamnd getting google chrome because its REALLY fast. My internet explorer took 10 seconds to load a page and google chrome took barley a second. But if you want a browser thats good for customizing, get firefox. Its fast, but not a fast as google chrome. Also, google chrome has SOME customization features, like changing the adress bar texture/color.

Almost all Web Browsers hold some things in common. They are as follows:- Address Bar (To go to URLs/URIs)

- HTML parser (To turn HTML into readable text)

- Back and forward buttons

- Refresh button


Of course, the more modern browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer 6+ etc.) have many other things that they have in common:

- History of pages visited

- Favourites/Bookmarks

- Search bar (Google Chrome has it all in one bar - the Omnibox)

- Home button

- Other language parsers (CSS, PHP, SQL, Javascript etc.)

- Support for plugins (Flash Player etc.)

- Many have support for browser specific extensions
