How to Create a Custom Web Browser

A web browser is a piece of software that enables you to surf the Internet. Some browsers enable you to "customize" the experience of surfing by adding little pieces of code called "extensions" to the browser. The extensions provide additional functionality to the browser. Depending on your interests, you might add options such as "WeatherBug" or "AutoPager" from categories like "Alerts & Updates" or "Feed, News & Blogging." Although there are different browsers in existence, the browser that is the most customizable is the Firefox browser.

Things You'll Need

• Firefox browser
• Computer with Internet access

Instructions

1. Download and install the Firefox browser from the Mozilla Firefox website. The link is provided below in the reference section.

2. After installation, visit the Firefox Add-on page. The link is also in the reference section below. Here you can find extensions to customize the Firefox browser experience.

3. Use the category menu on the left hand side and the search field to find extensions that fit your needs. When you find an extension you like, click the "download now" button to download and install the extension into your Firefox browser. You will need to restart your Firefox browser after download to enable the extension.
