 Welcome to Web Browser Basics for everybody. So today, our course is going to be something very simple on how to use a web browser. So the agenda for today. I'm going to show you with my computer what these things are. So I'm going to go over what is a web browser, what the URL is, what are the address bar, links, your navigation buttons, tabs, browsing, bookmarks, and history, downloading files, and saving images. I'm hoping to get to all of these items today. So this is what we're going to do. Let's see. So before I switch over to my browser, I wanted to share with you what I'm a web. So basically, a web browser itself is something that allows you to go on the internet. There are many different types of web browsers. Depending on your preference or whatever ecosystem you're in, like the classroom this morning. For example, if you're in the Apple ecosystem, you would most likely use Safari, as it's already on your devices. If you have a PC or a Microsoft device, most likely it's going to be Internet Explorer, it's going to be Microsoft Edge. And then there is Google Chrome, which is the Google web browser. So those three are part of the big main ones. And then there are some independent ones that are standalone, not part of the ecosystem, such as Mozilla, such as Firefox. And I learned a new one the other day. It's called Brave Browser. And there's also Dr. Go has a browser now, too. So there's all these different types of web browsers. So it's basically they all allow you access to the internet. It's like saying there's different car manufacturers that allow you to drive. So if you like driving Toyotas, there's Toyotas. If you like driving Hondas, there's Hondas. If you like driving Ford, there's Ford cars. These are all vehicles that allow you to get to the internet. You know, that's different flavors for different preferences. OK, so let's go to my browser. Here, you will see this is my browser, OK? So this is the browser I use. This is called Google Chrome. And this is in the Google ecosystem. So what it allows it to do is to have everything in one place, let me try to make this smaller, OK? And you would log in with your Google or your Gmail. So let's do this first. Let's go, I said, let's go over what the URL is first. So here, do you see this part where it's flashing? This top part where this little G is. This here on this top rectangle on top, all the way on top here next to this G is the URL bar. So URL is the official name of URL. It's an acronym for Uniform Resource Locator. So what a URL in layman's term is, basically, this is the house address of a web page. So for example, if you live at 100 Larkin Street, which is the San Francisco Main Library, and you want to get there, you would type that into your maps and you would find that. So for example, if you want to find a web page, you need to know the address. So for example, you would say, I want to go to the main libraries web page, and then that'll be www.sfpl.org. And that will bring you to the library's website here. And the thing is that also a lot of the browsers now, this bar here on top, where you type in the URL, there are also search bars now. So before we would have to go to either google, google.com, and then from Google, you would go here. And this is the switch, right? So you'd be like, what is a URL? And you'd type it in there. But now, all that, you could simplify that step by just typing in here, what is a URL. And so now the URL bar functions as two different things, not just as finding a place, but also using it as Google Search. And let's see. OK. So what is a link? So you're like, OK. Well, people may say, what is a link? Well, what do I do? Where do I click? So can I show you here on the library website? So links usually have a blue line. And if they don't have a blue line, so example here, do you see this here on top? It says, virtual programs now available. Please join us now online for Storytimes, Book Clubs, and other virtual events. Visit our event calendar to learn more. So you see that this is all just text here, right? There's text. But all of a sudden, you see that there's a line underneath here. So you're like, what is this line me? And then you see that this cursor, your cursor will change usually to a finger or another cursor icon. And that means this is a link. So basically, if I click here, it'll bring me to another page or a link. So link me to another page. So if you're reading something that's into, if you're reading a paragraph and you see, oh, why is it blue? Like I said before, why is it blue or why is it underlined? And that means it's a link. But not every word or phrase that's on a web page might be a link. Or it might not have to have that. So for example, here, you'll see that these are blue, right? So this is blue. But look, if my cursor doesn't change when I click on it. So that means that's not a link. It just happens to be blue text. And then if I go down here, San Francisco, California, 941.02, if I click on it, my cursor doesn't change. So that's not a link. But if I go up to this first one that's blue, you see how my cursor changed to a finger instead of this blinking or instead of this, I guess it's called an eye. But if I click on this, that's actually a link. And I'll bring me to a new page. So don't be frustrated. I know sometimes people are like, well, I see it, but I can't click on it. Don't be worried. It might not even be a link at all. It just might be that it's blue words and it looks like a link, but it's not a link. Or, for example, here on our website, sffill.org, they might not be blue at all. And they might not have an underline like this. These are tabs and these are also links. So this will bring me to other pages. So books and media. I could click on here, catalog, and it opens up another whole new page to a link. So that's some things for you to know. Do not. Don't worry about it. So one more thing right here, let's say. This here is not blue, but it's underlined. So it becomes a finger so that I know that's a link, right? So I'm going to click on that. And that'll bring me to a new page. But then if I go back here and I see this, general recommendations, you see that my pointer, the arrow, doesn't become a finger. See, it became a finger here when I went over the link. But when I go over here, it's still an arrow. So that's, and I can click on it, but it's not doing anything. So it's not a link and it won't bring me to another page. Another thing that I just showed you and I did is this up here. So this is a URL bar, remember? And what's here on the URL bar next to it? You'll see that this is the back arrow. And here it'll pop up as a question. Click to go back. Hold to see history. So if I click once, it'll bring me to the previous page, which was just SFPL. For Chrome, if I hold on to it, if I long hold, it'll show me all the different types of websites that I went on on my Chromebook. So here, it's like I remember I typed in what is a URL. I went to Google. So these are all the things that I went to recently on this browser. This here, the button next to it, is the forward button. And if I hover over it, it's going to say, click to go forward. Hold to see history. So same thing. If I press this arrow pointing to the right, it's going to bring me back to the comments with the catalog page. And anytime you see this little circle here, this arrow with a circle, this means it's going to reload the page. For example, if we were using some sort of website and you need to get updated information, sometimes when this page loads, it might just be, this is what it was the information at the time when you opened it. So for example, if you're trying to find out information like maybe if you're trying to buy concert tickets or you're trying to see if there's a vaccine appointment and something opens up, but the thing is that if you don't click Reload, it might not show up there. It's kind of like your email also. When you open an email, it might be just that. Like when you opened it, it took all the email and put it, showed it in front of you. And if you're waiting for an email, sometimes you have to click Reload so that it gets the new information down, gets it, picks up the new information and shows it to you. So another analogy would be like when you go down to your mailbox in your house and you open the mailbox, you'll see 10 pieces of mail and you take it out. And then you go back into your house and you have 10 pieces of mail still, but you're still waiting for another piece of mail. So you're not going to look at the 10 pieces of mail and wonder where my 11th piece of mail is. What you would do is that then you would go back to your mailbox outside of your house and then look for the 11th piece of mail. And that's kind of like what Reloading does. You go back and you look again or tell it to look again and to make sure that there is, if there is new data or new information. So that's those three. I also want to show you what tab browsing is. So here, if you look at my screen, you'll see there are three things here, right? I have this up here. I have this SFPL Bibliocommons. I also have this tab here, which is what I was showing you at first. This is the PowerPoint. So what are these things up here? These are called tabs. So this is called tab browsing. I don't know if you remember before tabs, we used to have windows, well, we still have windows. This whole thing we're looking at right now is a window. Within the windows, there's tabs. So it's kind of like a, I think they're, well, they call it tabs because it's based off of like Manila files that we put in, Manila files, yeah, Manila files. So these replicate that. So if I click here, this plus, I have a hover over it, it's gonna say new tabs. So I can open a new tab and then from here I can type in like, I could type in, I could go to another website. So I could type in or go to San Jose Public Library and that will bring me to another page and I could click on San Jose Public Library. So then here, I'll see that, look, I have this tab up here is San Jose Public Library while the tab I had before was the presentation. So this is good for if you ever wanted to use multiple, look at multiple things or compare things like, oh, what does San Jose Public have? What are they doing for SFP? So they call their express pickup and San Francisco Public Library calls ours SFPL to go. So from here, I wanna show you how to open a new tab without pressing the plus button. So what you can do if you ever want to open something without changing what you're on. So for example, like, oh, maybe I wanna keep on looking on what's on San Jose Public Library website. So if I click on here, like I click on indoor computer usage, it's just gonna change everything here. It's gonna change it to the indoor computers and printing page, right? Like, oh, but then I also wanted to read something. So I'm gonna press this back button here. So like maybe I wanna read what's happening but I also wanna read about computers. So what I'm gonna do and set, I'm gonna press, I'm gonna right click. So on your mouse, your mouse, you're gonna right click for Chrome, you're gonna right click and it's gonna ask you, what do you wanna do? So the computer wants to know what do you wanna do? So I'm gonna tell this, I'm gonna tell Chrome that I wanna open this to a new tab. So if I click on that, that's gonna bring indoor computer usage to a new tab. So it's gonna bring it to the one next to it. But I could still access what's here. So this is useful for if you wanna, if you're looking through multiple things but you don't wanna go off of your search, this is good for that. And that's, hi, yes. All right, really quick. Carol wants you to clarify where here is when you say here. Oh, okay. So, okay, let's, oh, I'm sorry. I think the reason why is that my thing popped up and you guys, it's, let me share my desktop. Hold on one second, okay? Let's change my share. New share desktop share. Okay, you see my whole desktop now, right? Okay, I think that's, thank you, Carol. I think it's Zoom and the funny things of Zoom. Okay, so like I said before, here, let's backtrack. Okay, so indoor computer usage, right? When you click on it, it's just gonna bring you to indoor computer, that page. But the thing is that, I kinda look at two things at the same time. So, I want to read this page or this tab and I wanna read about indoor computer usage. So I'm gonna right-click. Do you see the pop-up right now? Where it says open link in new tab, open link in new window, open link in incognito window. Shayna? Or Joseph? Say that again, Helen? You see the pop-up where it says open link in new tab or open link in new window? Yes. Okay, so this, sorry, this is what I mean by here, okay? So once you right-click it, it's, Google Chrome is gonna ask you what you want to do. So I'm gonna tell it that I want to open this link in the new tab. And if I click on this, it's gonna open another tab next to it. And this is what the right-click does. So there's also other things you can do. For example, you can click open link in new window. So I could open a new, it will automatically open a new window. And now you see that I have two sets of windows. I hope you're seeing my desktop. So now you see that from here. Let's try to dock this here. So now you see that it opened into a new window, which is this window here on the right. And then let me show you that again. So for example, I'm gonna show you this again, okay? Right-click. So new tab opened, new tab opened this, right? New tab opened another tab next to it, right? But if I click on this and I right-click it, and I click open new window, it's gonna pop up, which is this. So this doesn't replace it. This is actually, it opened it as big. So if I minimize, if I make it smaller, this is the original one I was on, right? This one, and then this was the new one that opened as the new window. So right-click. So you see this finger, how this over the indoor computer usage, it becomes, it's telling me this is the link. I'm gonna right-click it. And then these are the three options I have. New tab, open link in new tab, open link in new window, open link in incognito window. So if I click this one, open link in new tab, this will show up here next to it. Okay, we'll leave that alone. Let's go back here to this tab. If I go over it again with my mouse and I right-click it, I'm gonna tell it, I want to open this in a new window. I'm gonna click on that. All of a sudden something's gonna pop out at me again, right? Like, oh, you're like saying what happened to my other tabs? And so, but do you remember you clicked on new window? So this is what happened. So it opened a brand new window for you. So this was the original one here. And then now it creates a new window where you can look at it on a different window. So those are some options from your right-click of tabbing. I'm gonna go on a quick tangent here and show you the other features of the right-click. So for example, if I hover over here and I click on the right-click, right? So these are some other things. There's one thing I really like to use when I do right-click. I do click, I click this one. Search Google for indoor computer usage, okay? So what this is good for, it doesn't have to be a link. For example, like I can click on, I can highlight something and do a right-click too. For example, like I'm gonna highlight this word computer. Like maybe I'm learning English and I don't know what the word computer is. So I'm gonna highlight this word computer, right? Computer, let's see, I'm gonna highlight this one. So highlight is usually if you hold down, if you hold down the right, sorry. If you hold down the left button of your mouse and you go over with the cursor the word. So I highlighted that, so now that's blue. And then now I'm gonna right-click. So now it knows that this is not a link. So it doesn't give me, it doesn't let me open this in a new tab. It doesn't let me open this in the new window because they know this isn't a tab. So what Google allows you to do is only these options, right? So at first here, if I go up here to indoor computer usage because I know this is a link, if I right-click it, Google also knows or Google Chrome knows and it lets you do all these functions. But I wanna show you this and I go over the word computer. It's only gonna let me do these functions. So what I like about using Chrome is that it lets you search for Google. So now it's gonna say search Google for quote computer. And they'll magically search for what computer? So this is useful for language learning. I use it a lot for language learning. And it's helpful for that. For example, like I'm looking on, let's say, let's turn this to, let's go on SFPL, for example, here. And for example, like maybe I'm learning Spanish. It changes to the Spanish website. And I'm like looking at these books and then I'm like, oh, I don't know what recentemente means. Like maybe I know what liberals means, but I'm like, hmm, what does this work mean? If I hover over it, I know it's not a link because it doesn't become a finger, so I can't click on it, but I can highlight it by holding on the left button. Left, the left button on the mouse, I go over it so it highlights it. And then what I'm gonna do is that I'm gonna right click it with my mouse. So right click it. And Google Chrome is gonna tell me these are the things you can do. You can copy this so that I can paste it somewhere else. But I'm gonna say search Google for this word. And Google will automatically translate it for me as one of the options first. Here on top is gonna say that recentemente, so if I click on this thing, it's gonna let me listen to it. And that's gonna translate to the word recently. So this is one way you can use it too. And that's part of tab browsing and opening up tabs, okay? So going back on track now, let's go over what the history and the bookmark is. So for example, I'm gonna go back to the SFPL webpage now. So let's click on this tab here. Okay, so now for the sake of me understanding, I'm gonna change this back to English. So we're gonna click on English. So for example, like, oh, I want to open to the catalog every single time. So SFPL.org, right? So this is the library's website. But the thing is that this doesn't open to Biblio Commons, which is our catalog. So instead of opening up to this webpage every time, whereas all these things, I just wanna go straight to the catalog. So I'm gonna go back to the catalog. So I'm gonna click books catalog. So now you see that the URL up here changed, right? Now this address, the address of this website is called httpssfpl.bibliocommons.com. While if I click on the back button, it'll tell me that the address of the library website is https.sfpl.org. So you don't need to remember that. So I'm gonna say, I want to, every single time, I want to go to this instead, right? So I'm gonna click on the star here and hover over it. It's gonna say, that will make it a bookmark or a favorite. So I'm gonna click on it, left click once. And it's gonna say bookmark added. So I've added the bookmark. And then it's gonna ask me, well, do you wanna name it? So it's gonna name it automatically as what the website is. So it's gonna say, recent activity as a field. So I could rename it if I want to. So it might say like, sfpl catalog. So I know that every single time, when I'm here, it'll bring me to the catalog. And it asks you, where do you wanna put this? So I'm gonna just say put it in the bookmarks bar or I can choose somewhere else where it wants to be. So I can make a folder if I want of like all the different libraries or if you're looking at like, if you wanna categorize things like, oh, maybe this is my favorite shop I like to shop at. Maybe this is Macy's. And I'm gonna put all my clothing websites on one bookmarks. I know that or one folder and all my bookmarks are in this folder for online shopping, which is perfectly fine. You don't have to do that, but you can. Or you can just put it here. Let's go back here and I'm gonna click done right here. So now if I want to go to my favorites, let's see, where did my bookmarks go? Okay, two, let's do that. Perfect, okay. So here, you'll see these three dots, right? On the top right-hand corner. At first, I had my bookmarks bar turned off so you couldn't see it, right? So here, where's this show bookmarks bar? I turned that on, so you see the check mark here? That means it's on. So you'll see here on the top left-hand corner, you'll see SFPL catalog, that's what I typed in right. If I press this again, it's gonna turn off. So all those bookmarks, that one bookmark and the whole bar is gonna be gone. So let's do that again. Three dots, bookmarks, show bookmark bar. So I'll know that here. If I really need to go quickly to here, I'll click that. So for example, let's say I'm just on Google. And then I'm like, oh, I just need to get this book. And I'm gonna click right here. I don't even have to type in SFPL anymore. I'm just gonna click right here where the bookmark bar is and that will bring me straight to the library catalog that I went to look for a book. So you can have multiple, you can have multiple. So like for example, I'm gonna go to this, the San Jose public library tab right here. So I'm gonna click on this tab right here and say for example, like, hey, I want to bookmark this page also. So like I said before, we're gonna go over to the star. Depending most likely it's gonna get my star is gonna look like a book with a little tab, like a bookmark. These are used interchangeably favorite and bookmark. So I'm gonna click on it with my left click on my mouse and it's gonna say bookmark added. But then you wanna name it. So instead of saying home San Jose public library, I'm just gonna name this SJPL, San Jose public library, click done. So now you see that here magically another tab, another bookmark appeared, sorry, not a tab, bookmark or favorite appeared right here. So I can click on that and they'll bring me back to the exact same page or for example, if I'm here, like I'm doing something on San Jose public library. But then I want to look at the San Francisco one at the same time. What I can do is I can click here as it was here, but I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna show you that we can hover over the bookmark right here. This is the bookmark we created, right? So instead of left clicking to bring us there and that will change the page I'm on, right? We don't, I'm gonna show you that if we go over it with a right click, so right click, right, not left, right click. You can do the same things at first. Like remember, open a new tab, open a new window. So I can open a new tab and now it's gonna bring me this tab here to the catalog. So now I have two of them open, this one and this one. So the second tab and the sixth tab are both the same San Francisco Public Library catalog which is perfectly fine. Let's see, and then what else do I wanna show you? Oh, downloading files, let's see. Let me find something down. Let me think of a thing that we want down. Okay, let's see, if I click on... Hey, Allen. Yes, hi. Someone was asking if you could show how to download a different browser. So maybe you could do that. Yeah, let's see. I could try to do that. I will let you know I'm also working on a Chromebook right now. So that might not work, but let's try it together. So I'm gonna look for, I'm thinking of DuckGo browser which is another browser. Whoops, browser, browser. So I'm gonna click on this Duck.Go privacy simplified and I can add that to Chrome but that's not gonna work. That's an extension, let's try this. I'm gonna say, unfortunately I can't show it on here because I am on a Chromebook and Chromebook is a web-based computer or a web-based device. So it doesn't really store any applications or I can't download anything. Download, oops, not Edge for Business. Yeah, so it's not gonna let me download. Oh, nope, let's try. Platform, Windows and Mac. So Microsoft Edge, which is the new internet explorer, lets you download for either Mac or for Windows, not for a Chromebook. I don't think Safari, which is another popular browser, Apple Safari browser. So let's see, Apple. You can try Firefox, I'm pretty sure they have an application for. Okay, that one's not gonna work, Firefox download. Okay, so I'm gonna click, let's see, oh, download Firefox, let's try that. Okay, so download Firefox, I clicked on that, almost there installing. So you'll see that it pops up here, it's downloading and this will give me a new and a different browser on my computer, let's see. Now it's running, it's running. But so depending on the device you have, there might be limitations on what browser you can use. I use a Chromebook at work, we use a PC and on a PC you can use Google Chrome, you could use Firefox, you could use Microsoft Edge, you could use Internet Explorer. So the download's complete, let's see, open. No, it's not gonna work, Jaina. So, yeah, I'm on a Chromebook, it's fine, it's because I'm on a Chromebook, yeah. So Chromebooks are also web-based and it's not gonna work, but I'll show you how to download something different. Allen, really quick, if you Google download Firefox for Chromebook, there should be a link directly. Ah, that's different like now, okay. Get Firefox for Chromebook, get Firefox desktop for Chromebook, okay, let's click on that. Download Firefox, is it downloading? It's the same one, it's the same, see. Interesting, okay. Not gonna work on my Chromebook, okay. Okay, how about somebody asked if you could try to download an SF Chronicle issue? Yeah, let's do that, let's do SF Chronicle, I was gonna show how to download an image, but let's do SF Chronicle, let's see if we can do that. So let's say we find the issue of SF Chronicle, oops, let's just open SF Chronicle. So for example, I open the news, I'm reading the Chronicle, I want to read about, hopefully there's not a paywall. Perfect, okay, oh, there's no paywall, okay, perfect. So I wanna read about, here's where household water uses the highest in California, right? So, let's close this paywall, okay. If I click on usually the three dots, that's usually where I wanna, so that's gonna be commenting, so I don't wanna do commenting, I wanna download, so let's click, let's look at the article together. That's, okay, let's go to, let's use the library's Chronicle. SFPiel.org, let's see, research and learn, e-magazines and e-news, I'm gonna click on that. I'm gonna click on Chronicle, SF Chronicle, current and historical, please don't make me log in, let's take a look, click on that. Ah, it doesn't, cause I'm on the library, a Wi-Fi. Okay, so for example, I wanna read about the California Chronicle, so I'm gonna click on, so you see that there are four, news spec lets you, this is a newspaper database that we have at the library. Be careful and be mindful of what you choose here, there's four sources, one of them is for current, 1985 to current, but this is the text format, while this one, 2017 to current, this is the image format, so let's click on the image format. So if I click on that, I should be looking at pictures of the newspaper, so today's what, the 15th, click on that. So this one will let me read the newspaper as if I had the actual ad newspaper in my hand, and you wanna know how to download it, so if we're doing it this way, you can use what, if the app has, if the app is providing it, so, or if the website's providing it. Here you can clip it, you can print, but we wanna take download, so let's click on the download button and see what happens. So I'm gonna say download, so it's gonna say, do you wanna download this whole page or do you wanna just select a clip? So for example, like, hey, I wanna, I want this picture of just this tree, I can select a clip, and then I can just go in here and just do that, I can save that, or I can say I wanna download the full page, I just want this front page, so I'm gonna click download full page, and that's gonna ask you, do you wanna download this to your drive or you wanna download this to as a PDF? So I'm gonna say let's download as a PDF, I'm gonna click on that, I don't need citations, I'm not doing a research paper, I'm gonna click download, and then now it's gonna say downloading full page and then it's gonna show up in my download folders, which I'll show you in one second after it downloads. Okay, so now you see this pop-up here. So on my Chromebook, or depending on where you are, on either using a PC, or if you're using a Mac device, it might be in your downloads folder. So mines is here because I'm using a Chromebook. So this will be under a Chromebook, it'll be under my files, my downloads. If you're in a PC, it should be under my computer, and then downloads. So look for the Manila folder on the bottom left-hand corner, you'll see like a Manila folder icon, and then you click on that, there should be something that says downloads. So here, you'll see that the article I just downloaded, is a PDF here, because it's under my downloads, and this will open the PDF that I just saved, and that's how I downloaded that. But let me show you something else that might be a bit more easy accessible. For example, if I'm on Google, and let's say I'm looking for, let's say Mother's Day just passed, right? So let's say Mother's Day, and I wanna find a picture of, I wanna make a Mother's Day card or a picture, I type in Mother's Day, and then I wanna find an image so I can print out for my mom. So let's say, hey, I really like this one, this is Happy Mother's Day in the middle, right? This one right here. So I'm gonna click on it with my left click button, and I want to download this, or I wanna save it to my computer. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna right click, so right click, and that gives you all these options you can do, right? So do I wanna open this in your tab? Yes, you can do that too, and that open, this is a new tab right here. So this is from the website it was from, so this opens it in your tab, right? And if I right click it, what I can do down here is I can save image as, so I can click on this button, save image as, and it's gonna see like here, it's gonna save it to my downloads, and I could say this is, and it already named it to the file for me here, so I'm just gonna click save, and show in folder, and it's gonna say this is my picture that I saved to my computer, locally on my computer, and this is next to that. So that's one way for doing that. If you have any questions, feel free to put it in the chat box, or please feel free to unmute and or turn on your camera. I did see a question before I forget from, I think was that David? Oopsies, was that David or was that? David, yes, where was the Mother's Day image stored? So for me, on my Chromebook, it was stored in my folders, my download folders. If you're still looking at my desktop, you'll see it right here. Under my files, under downloads, you see that here is my picture for my Mother's Day. If you're on a PC, it should be on the bottom left-hand corner under, look for a Manila folder icon and under your files, and in there, there should be a download button there, or downloads, and it should be saved there. And let's see, I see one more question. Let's see, what are the major differences among web browsers from Enon? It's usually a preference, and it's also depending on the ecosystem you're in. If you're in an Apple ecosystem, or you use Apple products, for example, if you're Safari, if you're on Safari on your phone, there is, and you're out on, you're writing the bus and you're reading a website, and then you get home, but you don't want to read on your iPhone anymore because it's too small. So then you open your iPad, and then if you open Safari on your iPad, it will already be there. Or if you're on, so that's for Apple products. If you're on Chrome, you can also use Chrome on your iPhone, and then you can use it from your iPhone to your computer desktop there. I see Wendy, hi Wendy again, about Mozilla Firefox. So Mozilla Firefox, it's different browsers. They're kind of independent and not part of an ecosystem. So it's less of a, I wouldn't say it's less of a seamless experience, but it's less of a tailored experience where Google Chrome might know of your search history or of your YouTube browsing habits, or Apple knows of this, and they might be able to tailor it more, but let's show it on my screen actually. So Firefox is a different browser that we were trying to download at first, but it didn't work. And they are touting, let's see, they are touting about, let's see, they have different trackers. So they block trackers, so websites can track you. And they also offer a password, they also offer to save your passwords for you, which Apple and Google does also. And it's another browser, another company, it's kind of like saying, what's the difference between a Honda and a Toyota? If you're, if you have, yeah. Like I said before, there's also Brave browser that I just learned about. They also do, they also take, they say they're faster than Chrome, they stop online surveillance, there are, yeah, there's multiple browsers and you don't have to use just Safari or just Chrome. You can use what's comfortable for you. There's Opera, I remember there's Opera browser, I don't know if you guys remember that. But you don't have to say, you don't have to say you can only stop, it's kind of saying like, you have to shop at Trader Joe's. No, there's Trader Joe's, they're Safeway. So I would be, I would go through and figure out what's better for you. Sometimes some websites might show up better on certain browsers, some of them don't on another browser and that's perfectly fine. It's also perfectly fine to use multiple browsers. You could use Chrome, you could use Internet Explorer and that's perfectly fine too. Let's see, Diana, I have a Chromebook, what do you mean when it's web-based? Chromebook, so Chromebooks itself have very limited space on them where everything boots up and it's just connected from the Internet. So if you're not connected to the Internet, it's a very limited item on what you can do. For example, like if I was on a plane and there's no Wi-Fi and I opened my Chromebook, it's a very limited things you can do. While if you have a PC or a Mac, you could probably run games, you could probably watch videos if you've downloaded them onto your Chromebook, or onto your PC. There is space for you to download on Chromebooks, but very little space and that's kind of how they keep the money, the cost down for Chromebooks. Let's see, what else do we have here? I see a question about, can multiple browsers be open at the same time? Yep, you can open Internet Explorer and scroll Chrome at the same time, it's not gonna break your computer. Tom says that if I try to save a web page sometime, I only see codes, what am I doing wrong? Let's see, let's try to save this. For example, sfpl.org, let's try to save this on my, let's try to save this too. So not just bookmarking, bookmarking was, we did that before, but you wanna save it. If I right click the whole page, so I'm guessing, for example, if you're on this page and you wanna save this page and that this is what you mean, if I right click anywhere on the screen, this is my cursor, you see the black arrow in the middle now, if I right click it and I click save as, and then in my downloads folder here, it's gonna, I click on save. So now if I go into my folder where my, so let's close that first, I'm gonna close this, okay. So now if I go back to my folder here, icon on the bottom, files, downloads, and this was that file I just saved, right? If I click on that, right click, it's gonna bring me here, it's gonna save it as a link for me. So it might be the type of either a PC or Mac that you're using that might be saving as code instead. Let's see, zoom. Which browser is more user friendly or easier for beginners? Really depends. I personally prefer Google. I know some people have privacy issues with the Google. I also know if you're using Apple devices and you're just using Safari, it might be easier because it's already there. It's built into their ecosystem. But I would say either one of the major ones, Apple, Safari, Google, Chrome, Microsoft, Internet Explorer. Pick one of those. I usually just use the one that's already on your computer, it's easier too. Inan says, the browsers are tracking content, how to protect privacy against tracking. So this is a tube, you can use one of the private browsers. You could use duck.go, they don't track you. You could use Brave, they don't track you. If you're logged into Google Chrome with your Gmail account, it's very helpful because your search history is there. And for example, if you typed in, let's go to my page here. For example, like if you were here and here on top, here on top, right? So for example, like I wanna remember, I can't remember, like I could say like, I don't remember what page I was on yesterday, but I remember with something and you see that this little, you see this little clock here, that means this is in your history and this is what you've searched for. So yes, they are tracking you. But the thing is that this is something that, this helps you remember like, oh, you're on this website, is this what you wanna go to? I personally like it because it helps, I don't bookmark everything, but sometimes I wanna go back to the same page and I'd be like, oh, like, oh, that newspaper article was the SF Chronicle and I could click on it and that'll bring me back there to SF Chronicle. Or if you're shopping on different websites and you can't remember which store it was, it'll have a history of the sites you're at and you could click on that. So it's really, it's tracking, all the tracking is not bad. I'm personally okay with it. I went through a time where I didn't, I went to use DuckDuckGo or Brave and it was hard for me to remember. I'm like, oh, was I on this webpage or not? Let's see, can I have Google Chrome and DuckDuckGo or both? Yes, you can have both. Perfectly fine, you have multiple browsers. Let's see, Doug says, browser for Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi and doing banking, text and social care, or steps to the, yes, a VPN is great, virtual, virtual, I can't remember what the P is. Oh, virtual protocol network. Basically that kind of throws, that's tech talk now, throws you off or logs in from a different place. Let's see, I will tell you this, Tenderloin Tech Lab right here, Tenderloin Tech Lab, they are actually seeing people in person. They're about two blocks away from us and they have appointments available from two to four PM on Monday, Wednesdays and Thursdays. You can call this number, 415-592-2766 and you can go in person there to get tech help. The Tenderloin Tech Lab is seeing patrons or seeing people in person. So if you're near the main or even near the Tenderloin, give them a call, you can set up an appointment so they can help you with your tech devices until or we open. But yeah, and that's that. Thank you, Jaina and thank you, Joseph, for helping me moderate the chat. I hope to see you guys in person soon. We do miss you, our dear patrons. Thank you.
