CSS stands for ‘cascading style sheets.’ CSS is a very useful tool for web developers to designate formatting in webpages. HTML was not originally intended to designate formatting options, but rather to designate the layout of objects within a document. Gradually, formatting tags were added to the arsenal of HTML instructions, but it was very time consuming for web developers to use. Every single page and tag had to specifically designate the formatting options for each element, which became redundant and laborious. CSS allows formatting options to be shared across multiple pages from one sheet, and used globally across different elements. Currently all browsers support CSS.
There are several popular browsers- Firefox, Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, and Google Chrome to name a few. The term “browser wars” refers to the competition between different browsers for function, speed, security, and in turn, user base. Unless I am mistaken, Firefox is the most widely used because of its superb functionality, customization, and security, though my personal preference is Google Chrome because of its speed and the lightweight design. Admittedly, Chrome does need some work in terms of compatibility. Internet Explorer has fallen out of favor with many users because of security flaws, many of which result from IE having a higher system privilege within the Windows operating system.
