Graphical browsers:

In order to enjoy the multimedia aspect of the Web, you have to use a graphical browser like Netscape Navigator or NCSA Mosaic. Graphical browsers can illustrate pictures, play sounds, and even run video clips. The disadvantage is that multimedia files, specifically graphics, frequently take a long time to download. Graphical browsers tend to be considerably slower than their text-only counterparts. And this waiting time may be stretched even further with slow connections or heavy online traffic.

For exploring the Internet several different browsers are existing. The two most popular browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. Both of these are graphical browsers that mean that they can display graphics as well as text.
