Browsers communicate with Web servers using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to access the Internet addresses (URLs) through search engines.

Most web browsers support other network protocols such as HTTPS (the secure version of HTTP), Gopher, and FTP, and markup languages ​​or HTML and XHTML web standards documents. Browsers also interact with supplements or applications (plug-ins) to support Flash files and Java programs (Java applets).
