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 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 out line the main ones in the table below:
Name of Browser | Logo | Compatible Operating Systems |
Internet Explorer | | Microsoft Windows |
Safari | | Apple Mac OS X Microsoft Windows (Not available from Apple Website) |
Google Chrome | | Apple Mac OS X Microsoft Windows |

There are multiple other browsers available to be used including Opera for example, however these are the most common browsers available.
