Browsers often use [search engines](/wiki/search_engine.md).

This article recommends the usage of [Firefox](/wiki/firefox.md) because it is
both widely supported and gives the posibility to configure many things to
provide a secure web browser.

### Making a Website into a Desktop Application

It is possible to create an [Electron-based](https://www.electronjs.org/) web application from a

For this the open-source and free software tool [Nativefier](/wiki/nativefier.md) can be used.
