Surfing the Web
If your MacBook is connected to the Internet, you can browse, or surf, the sites on the World Wide Web. For surfing, macOS provides a web browser app called Safari. Using Safari, you can quickly move from one web page to another, search for interesting sites, and download files to your MacBook.
