# Browser

The Browser application launches to a specific URL by using the Application Manager service. The launched URL appears in a separate card.

Notes:

- The browser can load any website that is accessible over conventional http and https protocols.
- To open the browser in a scene within your application instead of a separate card, refer to the WebView widget.
- For information about compatibility with Web standards, see the Browser Standards page.
