What is a Web Browser And How To Identify It?

A Web Browser is an application that we use on computers to access the internet. There will always be a Web Browser installed on your computer when you turn it on for the first time. However, you have the ability to install other browsers from the internet if you prefer.

ResBook PMS requires a Web Browser in order to work. If you are using Microsoft Windows, your default browser will be Internet Explorer (Microsoft Edge if you are using Windows 10), and if you are using Mac, your default browser will be Safari.

There are several browsers available, however, and we will outline the main ones in the table below:
