DefinitionA web browser (Webブラウザ) is software that opens web pages on the internet and displays them on screen so they can be viewed.

ExplanationA page is opened either by entering its URL, which serves as its address on the web, or by choosing a link (リンク) on a page. Browsers also keep bookmarks (ブックマーク) for pages you visit often and a history (履歴) of pages you have viewed.

AnalogyIt is like a receptionist who, given an address, fetches the material from that place and spreads it out in front of you.

Memory hookTo browse is to look around a shop or skim through something. Think of a tool for wandering from page to page.
