The browser is the software to use the internet and a search engine essentially scans the entire accessible web for the words you type in to it and shows you where they are.

Love the fact that even when committing to the bit about being anti-privacy they still know the internet is functionally unusable without an adblocker
Also I’m about to say something ignorant as hell but: Isn’t a Browser the same thing as a Search Engine?

Browser is an app on your computer
Search engines are apps on other people’s computers that you access via a website

Nope, Browser is the tool, the software to reach internet. Like a phone. Search Engine is more like the phone book of URL reference. And you use it with keywords
