  1.       
Browser (brouzˈẽr), n.
    1. An animal that browses.

    [1913 Webster]


    2. (Computers) a computer program that permits the user to view multiple electronic documents in a flexible sequence by the process of activating hypertext “buttons” within one document, which serves as a reference to the location of related document.  The term is currently (late 1990's) used mostly for programs which allow traversing hypertext paths in documents on the internet.  A typical browser will permit the user to easily reverse direction, and view again documents previously accessed.
