Web browsing applications

The essence of the World Wide Web (WWW) system is to apply the hypertext model to information resources distributed in the global network. WWW is one of the types of Internet service. WWW provides the ability to work with documents that combine text, graphic images, sounds, animation, which greatly facilitates the perception of information. Hypertext documents (Web pages) are created using a special hypertext markup language HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language).

The WWW system works on the client-server principle. The client is the HTML interpreter, special program browsing, called WWW-browser (WWW-browser). A WWW browser is an application program that interacts with the WWW system, receives requested documents, interprets the data, and displays the contents of the documents on the screen. The client program provides access to almost all Internet information resources that are stored on servers.

To work with the WWW system, you need to install on your computer one of the Web-browsing programs, for example, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, MyIE Web Browser, Opera, etc. Most browsers provide access to other Internet servers: FTP servers, Gopher servers, and UseNet newsgroup servers.

Internet Explorer is installed with Windows installation and the Internet Explorer icon appears on the desktop. This icon can be used to launch Internet programs explorer. After launching the Internet Explorer Web browser, an browser window will appear on the screen.

The browser or Internet Explorer window contains:

menu bar

· three toolbars: Regular buttons, Address bar, Links;

status line.
The Common Buttons panel contains all the basic browser control buttons. The Address and Links panels are used to specify the address of the web page to be loaded.

The status bar at the bottom of the window contains status messages for the Web page. The progress bar on the right side of the status bar indicates the progress of the file download. The status bar also contains an indicator showing set level security of downloaded web pages.

To navigate to web pages, you can use:

· the Address panel, on which the address of the required Web page is entered;

Using hyperlinks

Each Web page contains links to other pages. Most in a simple way Navigating from one Web page to another is a transition using the mouse. To navigate to other pages, you can use the navigation menu, text hyperlinks, graphic hyperlinks.



Typically text hyperlinks are underlined so they can be easily found. Text links to those pages that you have already visited change their color. It is more difficult to define graphical hyperlinks. If, when placing the cursor on the image, it takes the form of a palm with a pointing finger, then this is a hyperlink.

When you click on a link, the Web page specified in it opens by default in the current browser window. But it can also be opened in a new window. To do this, place the cursor on the link, press the right mouse button and select the Open in new window command from the context menu that appears.

To navigate to a Web page, you can use its address, which begins with the name of the protocol. This is followed by the domain name and the location of the file relative to the domain. By default, the Address bar is located below the main browser toolbar.

When you enter an address in the drop-down list on this panel and press the Enter key or the Go button, the browser opens the Web page for which you have specified the address. Any addresses you previously entered in the Address panel are stored in the drop-down list, and you can select them from this list as needed.

In the Address bar, you can enter the URL of a page directly from the keyboard. When entering an address, you do not need to enter the initial part of the address http://www, as the browser will add it itself.

Using the Links and Favorites folders to navigate to Web pages
Initially, in the Links and Favorites folders, you need to save the addresses of the Web pages you have selected. Note that the Links folder is a subfolder of the Favorites folder. To save the address of an open Web page, click on the Favorites menu and select the Add to Favorites command.

The Add to Favorites dialog box will open, in which you must select a folder to save the address (including the Links folder). After that, to go to the desired page, click on the Favorites menu and select in the folders desired address Web pages, the browser opens the Web page that you specified.

To do this, follow these steps:
1. Execute the Internet Options command on the Tools menu.
2. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
3. In the Media section, clear the Show pictures check box.

Changing the encoding type of a web page

If the page encoding type does not match the one set in the browser, you will see a meaningless set of characters, then set the required encoding type using the View / Encoding command. The most common types of Russian-language text encoding are Cyrillic (KOI8) and Cyrillic (Windows).

Saving a web page and its fragments

A web page consists of an HTML document and other files used to style the page. Using Internet Explorer, you can save both the entire page and its individual fragments.

Saving a Web Page
To save a Web page, do the following:
1. Select the File / Save As command, the Save Web Page dialog box will open.
2. Select a folder and give a name created file.
3. In the File type field, specify the type of data to be saved:

Web page, full - used to save the entire page,

· Web archive, one file - the entire Web page will be saved as one file.

· Web page, HTML only - used to save only an HTML document without images and other files;

· Text file– to save a web page in a normal text format.
4. Click the Save button.

Saving snippets of text and graphics on a Web page
To save a text fragment, select it and press the right mouse button. A context menu will open, from which select the Copy command, the fragment will be saved to the Windows temporary clipboard. Now it can be inserted, for example, into a Word document.

To copy a picture from a Web page, place the cursor on the picture and right-click the mouse. Then, from the context menu, select the "Copy Image" command.

The drawing can be saved as a separate file. To do this, from the context menu of the picture, execute the "Save image as" command. When saving a picture, you can select the same file type as the picture, or save the picture in bmp format.

Browser(from the English browser - "viewer") - a client program for viewing Web pages.

The most popular browsers are:

  1. Microsoft Internet Explorer;
  2. Netscape Navigator;
  3. Opera.
There are browsers that do not support graphics:
  1. Lynx (text browser);
  2. PwWebSpeek (voice browser).

In 1995, Netscape released the first version of the Netscape Navigator browser (it runs on any version of Windows). First Microsoft version Internet Explorer (1995) was a redesign of the NSCA Mosaic browser and was inferior to Netscape Navigator in terms of its capabilities.

Internet Explorer (IE, WIE, MSIE) is the most famous Internet browser that has appeared since the first web developments. Traditionally, it is proposed to download Internet Explorer for free from the Microsoft website, this is a mandatory utility Windows environments, which is designed for web applications.

Such a long life of the browser is associated with the popularity of the Microsoft vendor, which includes IE. The final version of the browser is a powerful web page interpreter with many additional options.

Now the Russian version has been implemented, which is the most popular in Russia. You can also download Internet Explorer for free in the Russian version from the Microsoft website.

Internet Explorer 7 is a multi-frame window with a phishing feature. It has an RSS format news utility. The browser has a convenient page scaling function with a high-quality display.

It also has a preview mode, a convenient choice of a search engine. Internet Explorer is designed for everyone Windows versions, as well as MAC OS.

The browser has a typical Windows interface, is easy to use, allows you to reconfigure the control panel, data output windows. Microsoft's many years of experience have been embodied in the convenience and comfort for the browser user.

"Internet Explorer"

Despite the high popularity, users often switch from IE to and , because these browsers provide more functionality than IE. The final version has a multi-frame interface, blocks pop-ups, has a phishing filter, and is automatically updated.

It makes sense to download "Internet Explorer" and use the built-in search engine with top panel tools, create quick tabs, connect an RSS news feed.

IE has a feature safe shopping. You can download "Internet Explorer" for free and have a fully functional modern browser With a high degree reliability.

Many users are so used to the IE interface that they can't imagine any other browser. It is difficult to say how long the popularity of this browser will fall, but the feature set needs to be expanded, as well as replacing the browser engine with a more powerful one.

Internet Explorer is hard to keep competitive advantage in relation to other intensively developing browsers.

A browser built into the most popular operating system. Present in any Windows and that's why it's valuable. Provides basic functionality that can satisfy only an undemanding user.


Current stable release: 11
Supported OS A: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and above.
engine: Trident.
Plugins: there are no accelerators, plug-ins as such.
Skins: Windows system themes.
License: EULA.

Browser from Microsoft comes as part of operating systems Windows families, and therefore familiar to almost every user personal computer. Anyone who has worked on Windows XP will remember how bad and inconvenient Internet Explorer 6 was: it didn't even have tabs. Meanwhile, Microsoft, having achieved victory over its main competitor, Netscape Navigator, stopped working on browser development for many years.

Naturally, this situation did not suit users. This situation was understood by manufacturers of alternative browsers (Opera and ) and began to speed up the development of their products. Moreover, a number of companies have begun releasing add-ons for Internet Explorer ( Maxthon , Avant and others), which added missing features to the Microsoft browser. This situation led to a significant drop in Internet Explorer's market share. More and more users refused to use the browser installed in the system and looked for alternatives.

Finally, Microsoft came to its senses and decided to catch up with Mozilla Firefox. The Trident engine, which is the basis for IE, has been significantly redesigned, many features already present in other browsers have been introduced, and work has been done to support generally accepted standards by the browser. Today, Internet Explorer is powerful and functional with excellent integration into the operating system and a number of unique features.

We will consider the most modern browser from the line - Internet Explorer 1.

Interface

The style of the browser in general terms does not deviate from the style of modern operating systems from Microsoft. It looks organic in both Windows Vista and Windows 7 or 8.

In a new empty tab, the user is offered several possible actions:

  • reopening tabs closed at the end of the last session;
  • inPrivate browsing mode (private browsing mode is available in all common browsers);
  • working with text on the clipboard. Text can be sent to search engine, in a blog or translate using one or another service. When installing additional extensions (in Microsoft terminology - accelerators), other actions can be performed with text.

The domain name (first and second levels) in the address bar of the browser is highlighted in black, while the rest of the navigation information is displayed in gray. It is assumed that this may serve additional protection from phishing. However, it seems to me that few people today pay much attention to the address bar.

Functional address bar Internet Explorer 11 is almost as good as its counterparts:

  • when typing a domain name, the browser suggests sites from the log and several generated options that may fit this Domain name;
  • when typing a phrase, the browser flips it to search engine by default and loads the search results page.
  • Internet Explorer 11 can search for words in page titles, as Mozilla Firefox and .
Meanwhile, the browser also has interesting interface finds that are not found in similar solutions. I really liked the color highlighting of pages related to each other by parent-child relationships. Moreover, if you opened a page via a link from the first page, and then followed new links from the second page, all pages will be colored the same color. Thus, it is very convenient to trace your way to this or that information.

Functional

The functional component of the browser is quite standard. The set of basic functions is similar to most common alternative browsers: Opera, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.

Users have access to:

  • tabs;
  • pop-up blocker;
  • phishing protection;
  • rss aggregator;
  • auto-update;
  • anonymous mode;
  • accelerators (extensions);
  • web slices.

The latter I would like to note separately. Web slices are something like advanced RSS. A special link with information appears in the Favorites panel. The browser periodically views the content of the link and, when new information appears, signals this to the user: the link font becomes bold.


This function has one unpleasant feature: for its operation, support from the site is required. Until the webmaster adds the necessary functionality, use this function it is forbidden. Therefore, here is how lucky.

In addition, the web slices that can be added to the Favorites panel are limited by the size of the panel itself.

Accelerators

I would also like to mention the so-called accelerators. Unfortunately, the browser developers did not wish to create full support add-ons in the browser, similar to how it is implemented in Firefox. Accelerators are just facilitating access to a particular web service. The list of accelerators can be found on a special website. However, I repeat: the functionality of the browser cannot be extended with their help.

Advertising

A huge disadvantage of the browser is the lack of an ad blocker. It is not included in the standard delivery. Of course, as a "cutter" of banners and text messages, you can use a third-party software. But for this, you need, firstly, to know about such software, and secondly, to have the skills to configure it.

In principle, there is the possibility of blocking ads and means of IE. But this setting looks very non-trivial. You can read more about ad blocking in the article " Remove ads from pages in Internet Explorer 11 ».

Summary

Intetnet Explorer 11 is a solid midranger. If you have used previous versions and browsers, it makes sense to switch to a new one. But if you are used to the functionality of alternative browsers, then there is no point in switching to IE: it will not be able to provide fully adequate functionality.

There is no way to synchronize data between browsers on different machines. Here you can also use additional functionality, but the lack of such solutions in the browser itself causes certain inconveniences.

And yet, with proper configuration of IE, you can make a good "second" browser. You can read about its configuration in our article " Configuring Internet Explorer 11 ».

So, who is Internet Explorer suitable for?

  • wants to use the browser built into the OS;
  • uses only Windows;
  • does not need additional features;
  • calmly relates to advertising.

Internet Explorer 11 is the latest for today official version super browser from Microsoft. Downloading, installing and running Internet Explorer is so easy that The World Wide Web literally available to everyone. This is an occasion to download free Internet Explorer 11 (latest version, 10 or 9, or even 8 for Win XP) in Russian.

Latest Internet Explorer

If the version of IE is outdated, then a brand new Internet Explorer must be downloaded for free. Those who disagree are simply wrong. Especially not right, those who use the Internet Eyksplorer as a well-known "browser to download the browser." Internet Explorer (by right) occupies half of the browser market in the world. At the same time, some users understand what they are doing, and some become victims of circumstance, marketing and laziness. And laziness, as you know, is the engine of progress, especially if you need to download a browser for your computer. Naturally, each user makes the choice of the best Internet browser subjectively. Many people love Mozila, some prefer Google Chrome clean or tuned (Yandex Browser and others on the Webkit engine), and someone loves Opera. Almost no one likes Safari, but the latest version of Explorer should be installed on the computer (even "just in case"). And you must use the opportunity to download Internet Explorer for free.

Microsoft IE values

The core values ​​of IE have always been: maximum security, high speed broadcast content, efficient performance and economy in the use of computer resources. The ease of use is also an important advantage. everyday use. And Ieshka preserves and increases these advantages from the very first versions (many will remember the fifth one under Mac OS). Undoubtedly, since 1995, Internet Explorer has regularly looked and performed better.

The number of browsers is growing

Many people say that the percentage of Internet Explorer users is constantly decreasing, but this is not entirely true. In absolute numbers, the inhabitants of the network and, as a result, the Internet Explorer are increasing. The number of browsers is increasing every day. Of the most popular: Arora, Avant Browser, Camino, Chromium, CoolNovo, Google Chrome, Dillo, Elinks, Galeon, K-Meleon, Konqueror, LeechCraft, Links, Lynx, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, Opera, RockMelt, Safari, SeaMonkey, SeaMonkey , SRWare Iron, WorldWideWeb (NeXTSTEP), Yandex.Browser and others.

New version of Microsoft browser

The new version of the browser from Microsoft has received a new GUI, tight integration with OS Windows (tabs are placed on the taskbar, etc.), enhanced security, support for new Internet standards and software and hardware acceleration. With the release of new versions operating system Windows, IE is forced to develop and, as a result, will take first place in the world for a long time to come.
