History of the Internet
The most distinctive feature of the Web is the text format. A series of "tags" is used for encoding and formatting text, graphics, animation, sound, and other file types. Those HTML files appear on your computer screen as determined by the tags used for encoding. You can see the "source code" in the HTML page of any Web page by selecting "View Source" in your browser's menu bar.
Most browsers allow access via FTP, Gopher, telnet, and email as
well as the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, although it may require installation
of resources. These are applications that work with the browser and allow
access to various processes and file types.
Browsers and Navigation
Your global migration
A Browser is a program used to view files on the World Wide Web.
There are text-based or deadly browsers (such as Lynx) that allow you to view
only the text file on the web. Many browsers have become graphical browsers
that can be used to view text, graphics, and other multimedia information.
There are many types of Web browsers available, but the most
widely used are MS MS Explorer and Netscape.
They both say they are better and faster than the other, but
choosing which ones to use is usually your own. Because some Web pages are
designed for specific browsers, it may be necessary to determine which browser
to use. Web pages may look different on different browsers.

Internet Explorer holds the lion's share of browser usage today,
but it has entered the game later than its main competition.
Microsoft has met with strong criticism in recent years regarding
Internet Explorer for its alleged intent to make IE an important and necessary
feature of the Windows operating system. Competitors complain that Microsoft is
trying to push them out of the market by making IE the only Web browser used
successfully with the Windows operating system.
Netscape
Netscape was one of the first commercial browsers on the scene and
controlled the browser market until Microsoft launched with Internet Explorer.
There are some Internet users who are extremely loyal to Netscape and there are
Web sites that are better viewed using Netscape.
In some of these browsers, if you want to keep the Web you find
useful and want to return to, try using the Favorites (MS Internet Explorer) or
Bookmarks (Netscape) function found in the menu bars at the top of the browser
screen.

not forget to tag it. Simply type the URL in the address box, press the key
to your computer keyboard and return to the address site.
The general type of Web address
Http at this address stands for "hypertext transfer
protocol", the World Wide Web protocol, and tells your browser to search
the site on the Web. The URL may also appear as:
ftp: //12.456.789
or

The first part of the URL before the colon tells the browser what
type of protocol should be used. Colon and double forwarding is common to all
URLs. Typically, the
