A term for a
WebBrowser and is somewhat misused, since an
InternetBrowser browses the whole
InterNet while a
WebBrowser only loads
WebPages. There are such things as
InternetBrowsers in their own right, if they do more than just the
WorldWideWeb, such as
ElectronicMail,
InternetRelayChat, or
FileTransferProtocol.
Are you aware that the very first widely used browser, Mosaic, became popular precisely because it was multi-protocol, and supported not just HTTP, but also FTP, GOPHER, etc, etc???
