How to Check Browser Settings

Web browser software is used to view web pages on the Internet. How the pages display, what fonts and colors they use and how your browser application handles events such as downloading files, accepting cookies and running Java script is controlled by the browser settings. Browser settings are stored separately for different browser applications and are easily customized to meet your needs. Each browser application provides a dialog box where you can view and adjust several different categories of preferences with the click of a mouse.
