What is a Web Browser 🔁?

A web browser (also referred to as an Internet browser or simply a browser) is application software for accessing the World Wide Web or a local website. When a user requests a web page from a particular website, the web browser retrieves its files from a web server and then graphically renders the page on the user's screen.

What is a Search engine 🔍?

A search engine is a kind of website through which users can search the content available on the Internet. For this purpose, users enter the desired keywords into the search field. Then the search engine looks through its index for relevant web pages and displays them in the form of a list.

NOTE :

A web browser is not the same thing as a search engine, though the two are often confused. A search engine is a website that provides links to other websites. However, to connect to a website's server and display its web pages, a user must have a web browser installed.

  • b. PyQt5: It is a module which helps in building Graphical User Interface modules in Python.
  • c. QtCore: This module contains Non-Graphical User Interface functionality.
  • d. Qtwidgets: User Interface is created in Qt with the help of them.
  • e. QtWebEngineWidgets: This framework embeds the web content in the application.
  • f. QAction(): Each command is represented as an action with the help of QAction.
  • g. triggered : For instance: if the Home button is clicked it will connect it to the NavigateHome. It means that if we click the button it will be triggered to perform some action.
  • h. connect(): For instance: if we click ReloadButton it will connect it to the browser. Basically, it is used to connect.

Reason why I have used Ecosia as my search engine :

  • Plant trees by doing nothing

Ecosia Is a Privacy-Friendly Search Engine

  • While Ecosia uses a tracking tool to collect a small amount of data to optimize their services, they don't use any external or third parties. This way, they can prevent others from accessing your searches and using the data.
  • Each time we search for a result the count of trees increases in the right most corner of the browser indicating the number of searches we have done so far and those many trees will be planted by the Ecosia organization or they make money through the searches and release reports about how much they have spent on trees.

The main advantage of this browser is :

  • Ecosia cares about its users’ privacy. They don’t sell your data to advertisers and they allow you to turn off all tracking.
  • It doesn't save browsing history
  • So it is completely safe to use.
