What is a browser and which one should I use?

A browser is software that is used to access the internet. It lets you visit websites and do activities within them like login, view videos, link from one website to another, send and receive email, among many other activities. The most common browser software titles on the market are: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer. Browser availability depends on the operating system your computer is using (for example: Microsoft Windows, Linux, Ubuntu, Mac OS, among others).

You should access the internet using a browser that best supports our courses. These are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.

Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge versions older than 2023 do not support our courses. If using Microsoft Edge, please ensure you have the latest version installed for the best support and easy and fast online study.
