CHAPTER 3

Surfing the Web

This chapter shows you how to use the Microsoft Edge web browser to navigate from site to site. You learn how to enter web page addresses, work with tabs, save your favorite sites, search for information, and more.

The Microsoft Start homepage displayed in a browser window. The background features a serene lake with a solitary tree, framed by autumn-colored trees and distant snow-capped mountains. The search bar is at the top center, and a heat warning is shown at the bottom with the temperature reading 84°F.

Open a Web Page

Although you usually navigate web pages by clicking links, if you know the address of a specific page, you can type it into Microsoft Edge to display it. Every web page is uniquely identified by an address composed of four parts: the transfer method (usually https, which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure), the website domain name, the directory where the page is located on the server, and the page filename. The domain name suffix most often used is .com (commercial), but other common suffixes include .gov (government), .org (nonprofit organization), .edu (education), and country domains such as .ca (Canada).
