Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome are examples of software used
for visiting webpages. We call them: "Browsers". To visit a virtual
world one needs a browser for virtual worlds. The general term for such a
browser is a: "Viewer".
There are multiple viewers to choose from but basically they all work the same.
