What is the difference between a search engine and a web browser?

  1. A web browser displays websites, while a search engine creates them.
  2. A search engine helps find information on the internet, while a web browser displays the information. ✓
  3. A web browser requires an internet connection, while a search engine doesn’t.
  4. A web browser is a paid service, while search engines are free to use.

Explanation

Search engines like Google help you find websites by searching billions of pages. Web browsers like Chrome or Safari display those websites once you click a link. They work together but serve different purposes.

Neither creates websites; developers build those. Both need internet connections to work. Most browsers and search engines are free, though some offer paid features.

Think of search engines as librarians finding books. Browsers are like your reading glasses showing you the pages.
