That was crazy, I thought my screen was messed up. Excellent troll if I ever saw one. And yes, I am a space alien but I understood it. Was kind of upset that it shifted to the right but it's a reality these days.

What is a web browser?

A web browser—sometimes called an internet browser, or simply a browser—is a locally-installed software application for navigating the internet. Its main function is to retrieve and display web pages, like the one you’re reading right now. Think of your browser as your access to the internet, a window into cyberspace.

Web browsers make it possible to surf the web by interpreting and translating web code into text, images, video, and other elements. That is, a browser takes something most of us don’t understand, like HTML and JavaScript, and turns it into the content we come to enjoy online. Without browsers, the internet is an indecipherable jumble of numbers and letters.

What is a search engine?

A search engine is a web-based service that helps you search for information on the internet based on your queries. In other words, it’s a website through which users can search other websites using keywords.

It does so by gathering, organizing, and ranking information from across the web. When you enter terms in its search field, the search engine runs through its database of relevant websites, then lists results in a specific order for your convenience.

"Thanks! Google did a good job with that..." I would have said FireFox.

Thanks, champ. I drove a car without knowing all about everything in it too.
