IN 7 TYPES OF BROWSERS
Summary
TLDRThis educational video script delves into the world of web browsers, categorizing them into three types: text-based, graphical, and Java-enabled. Text-based browsers, exemplified by Unix, are efficient for loading text-only pages and handling image maps but lack support for multimedia. Graphical browsers like Chrome and Firefox offer a rich user experience with multimedia support and features like help menus and URL address boxes. Java-enabled browsers, necessary for websites requiring Java virtual machine, provide dynamic content, pop-ups, and multimedia, ensuring platform independence and enhanced security. The script highlights the evolution and importance of browsers in navigating the modern web.

Outlines
π Overview of Web Browsers
This segment introduces various types of web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Conqueror, Opera, and Safari. It categorizes browsers into three types: text-based, graphical-based, and Java-enabled. Text-based browsers are limited to text mode and use keyboard navigation, suitable for text-only content but unable to handle multimedia. Graphical browsers offer a richer experience with support for text, audio, video, and animations, using a mouse for navigation. The segment also touches on common browser features like bookmarks and cookies.
π Deep Dive into Graphical and Java-Enabled Browsers
This part delves into the functionality of graphical browsers, explaining how they retrieve and display web pages from servers when a URL is entered. It contrasts with Java-enabled browsers, which are required for websites that need a Java virtual machine for smooth operation. Java-enabled browsers are highlighted for their dynamic data types, pop-up features, multimedia capabilities, platform independence, and enhanced security measures. Examples of Java-enabled browsers include Internet Explorer, Netscape, Hot Java, and Firefox. The segment concludes by emphasizing the universal compatibility and security features of Java-enabled browsers.

[Music]
welcome to my class
in this particular class we will talk
about different types of browsers
here we have an example of chrome
firefox
internet explorer conqueror opera
and safari web browsers
types of browsers there are three types
of browsers
first is text based
second is graphical based
and the third one is java enabled
browsers
the first one text based browsers
what is the meaning of text based
browser the text based browsers
have the capability to assess the web in
text mode only
the arrow keys on the keyboard are used
to navigate
the highlighted words on the screen and
enter key is pressed to follow the
link
text browsers are the client programs
which relates only to the
textual part of the information on the
web
it means if some information is
available in audio video graphics
then this browser is not able to handle
those things
if some information is in the text form
only then this browser is of
some use to us
example unix is popular text based
browser
advantages in general they are not used
by many people
however text based browsers offer
following advantages
the first one is feed these browsers can
load text pages very fast
no redundant information redundant means
useless
they serve the information without the
extra stuff
only the required information is brought
by these browsers
they do not carry any additional
information
the third advantage is handle image maps
some text browsers can handle only some
types of
image maps common feature
most of them have common features of
browser such as
bookmark and cookies
the second one is graphical browser
what is the meaning of graphical browser
the graphical browser allows
retrieval of text along with audio video
animation and skill pictures
mouse can be used to navigate the net by
pointing on the highlighted words and
graphics
example there are many graphical
browsers which run
on different kinds of computer systems
the most popular graphical browsers are
google chrome
netscape navigator and internet explorer
what are the advantages of graphical
browsers
they offer number of advantages
first complexly formatted tags
graphical browsers allow the user to see
more complexly formatted text
in different phone types size and colors
they allow viewing of videos graphics
and animation
and hearing of sounds as well
second help menu help many of these
browsers
enable its user to learn more about its
feature
and how to use them
use of pointing devices graphical
browsers also allow the use of
pointing devices like mouse to point
and click on selections on the screen
url address box url
is uniform resource locator it is the
official
address of the website
so these graphical browsers have an
address box
which shows the url of the webpage being
viewed by the
user
the browser will bring the webpage from
the web server and show it to the
user the moment user writes the address
on the address box
graphical web browser will copy that
address
and it will move on to that web server
for which that address is
it will retrieve the required web pages
from the web server and it will bring it
to the client machine
the third one is java enabled browser
pages of certain websites indicate that
they require
java enabled browser what is the meaning
of it
it means the website has something that
needs a java virtual machine
to be pre-installed on user system to
run smoothly
java language is the most powerful
language and is widely used
in the web application so the current
version of most of the web browsers
are made java enabled
example mostly used java enabled web
browsers
are internet explorer netscape
hot java firefox mozilla
etc
now what are the advantages of java
enabled browser
java enabled browser offers the
following advantages
first one dynamic data types java
language provides programmers with the
freedom to create
interactive content for the web by
developing new data types
and the methods to operate on them
pop-up feature java enabled browsers
allow pop-up ads
multimedia feature web pages can contain
audio video graphics and animations
platform independent java enabled
browsers are platform independent
in terms of computers and operating
system
it means you may be having any type of
hardware
any type of software these java enabled
browsers
they can work on different types of
machines
different types of hardware and software
it does not make any difference
in case of java enabled browsers
it means we may buy machine from any of
the computer manufacturers
or we may have any of the operating
system
java enabled browsers work on them
very smoothly
security java enabled browsers address
a significant concern regarding security
whenever files are being received from
an unknown or
untrusted sites
