Mastering Your Web Browser

Your Web Browser

A web browser is the program you use to visit websites. Common browsers include Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox.

Step 1: Open your browser

1. Find your browser icon on your desktop or in your taskbar.
2. Click the icon once to open your browser.
3. You will see a blank page or your home page.

Step 2: Visit a website

1. Click in the address bar at the top of the browser window.
2. Type the website address, for example: www.singpass.gov.sg
3. Press Enter on your keyboard to go to the website.

Step 3: Search for something

1. Go to www.google.com or use the search bar in your browser.
2. Type what you are looking for, for example: "how to top up EZ-Link card" or "polyclinic near Bedok".
3. Press Enter to see a list of helpful results.
4. Look for results ending in .gov.sg — these are official Singapore government websites and are trustworthy.

Step 4: Go back to the previous page

1. Look for the back arrow (←) at the top-left of your browser.
2. Click the arrow once to go back to where you were.
