The information medium used to access HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) pages from the Internet is the World Wide Web (WWW). To view HTML pages, you typically use a software application called a web browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge). Here's how it typically works:
1. You enter a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) into your web browser's address bar or click on a link that points to an HTML page. 2. Your browser sends a request to the web server where the HTML page is hosted, using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or its secure version, HTTPS. 3. The server then responds by sending the HTML file back to your browser. 4. Your browser interprets the HTML file (along with any associated CSS, JavaScript, images, and other resources referenced within the HTML) and displays the formatted page on your screen.
The World Wide Web provides the infrastructure through which HTML pages are stored, retrieved, and displayed, while web browsers provide the interface for users to interact with web content.
