Browser versus search engine
editIt's not clear to me from the article what the differences are between a web browser and a search engine. Would it be possible / relevant to include some information about this for dummies like me? JezGrove (talk) 18:55, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- Don't feel so bad, I've had to explain the difference a number of times over the years. I rewrote the article lead with an explanation and 2 refs, including a video showing that many other people share your confusion. Hopefully this will help clarify it. -Pmffl (talk) 03:11, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

– Browser is more concise and this topic is the most notable of the topics listed on the disambiguation page. Interstellarity (talk) 15:53, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:CRITERIA disservice to readers to ambiguate with an abbreviated title when browser can mean many things. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:55, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per In ictu oculi. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 15:53, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose since the term browser pre-dates web browsers. Dicklyon (talk) 05:29, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose since "web browser" is unique to this case and still in common usage. --ZimZalaBim talk 05:31, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
