Web browser

A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for retrieving, presenting and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI/URL) and may be a web page, image, video or other piece of content.[1] Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources. Although browsers are primarily intended to use the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by web servers in private networks or files in file systems. History The first web browser was invented in 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Microsoft responded with its Internet Explorer in 1995, also heavily influenced by Mosaic, initiating the industry's first browser war. The most recent major entrant to the browser market is Chrome, first released in September 2008. Business models The ways that web browser makers fund their development costs has changed over time.

Google Chrome Web browser developed by Google History Google CEO Eric Schmidt opposed the development of an independent web browser for six years. He stated that "at the time, Google was a small company", and he did not want to go through "bruising browser wars". In September 2004, rumors of Google building a web browser first appeared. Development of the browser began in 2006,[24] spearheaded by Sundar Pichai.[25] Chrome was "largely developed" in Google's Kitchener office.[26] Announcement Public release An early version of Chromium for Linux, explaining the difference between Chrome and Chromium The browser was first publicly released, officially as a beta version,[34] on September 2, 2008, for Windows XP and newer, and with support for 43 languages, and later as a "stable" public release on December 11, 2008. Chrome quickly gained about 1% usage share.[31][37][38] After the initial surge, usage share dropped until it hit a low of 0.69% in October 2008. Development Version history Features User interface

Chromium (web browser) Open-source web browser project Differences from Google Chrome [edit] Chromium provides the vast majority of source code for Google Chrome, but there are important differences. Branding and licensing Programming languages Browsers based on Chromium In addition to Google Chrome, many other actively developed browsers are based on the Chromium code.

Prevent copy text manipulation in Chrome Websites and services can use JavaScript, and other technologies such as Flash if available, to manipulate text that is copied to the clipboard by users. Some sites use the feature to add a copyright note to the copied text while others may prevent copy operations to the clipboard entirely by erasing the copied contents before they reach the clipboard. A simple example page -- click here -- demonstrates the process. Select some of the text on the page and copy it to the Clipboard afterwards, for instance by using Ctrl-C. If you paste the content of the Clipboard afterwards, you will notice that something else entirely has been copied to the Clipboard. The page intercepts the copy to Clipboard event, erases what has been copied by the user, and replaces it with text of its own. The process is called clipboard injection or pastejacking, and it can be very annoying and may even have privacy implications. Probably the most convenient option for Chrome users is RightToCopy.
