browser: n. A program specifically designed to help users view and navigate
hypertext, on-line documentation, or a database. While this general sense
has been present in jargon for a long time, the proliferation of browsers
for the World Wide Web after 1992 has made it much more popular and
provided a central or default techspeak meaning of the word previously
lacking in hacker usage. Nowadays, if someone mentions using a
‘browser’ without qualification, one may assume it is a Web
browser.
