Question

Can you access the internet without web browsers?

Answer 1

Yes and no. You are still connect. You can still ping servers and send data.

You could download another browser you would just need an FTP program or some other program to download it. The problem is, its just easier to download a browser (or even an FTP program) with a browser.

Answer 2

Of course..



You can SSH, you can RDP, VNC, etc. Just no viewing webpages.

Answer 3

Internet Explorer

Answer 4

Sure you can, the internet is from the 1960s, graphical web browsers didn't arrive before the 1990s.

You can download a browser via FTP, you just need a FTP client.

Here is Mozilla's FTP server with all the releases of Firefox.

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/

Answer 5

you will be able to use internet but not its graphical features , you can do ftp using command prompt or remote logins but will not be able to have an access to so many files available on the internet

Answer 6

depends on how corrupted the browser is... and no if your computer has no browser on it at all then no, you can't access the internet... this is why I always keep 2 browsers installed on my computer... so I can avoid problems like this...... if some how your 1 and only browser does get corrupted and you need a new one, your gonna have to go to another computer and download a browser save the installation.exe to a CD/flash drive (probably easiest)/SD Card or some sort of storage device, take it to the computer without a browser and run the installation, it will install onto that computer and problem fixed.

Answer 7

you can use utorrent or limewire but will have limited web browsing ability.

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

I often download with ftp lftp or ncftp. I use ssh or PuTTy to access other computers,for example when I have a UNIX account of them. There was Usenet and newsgroups and emails back in the eighties (and for some people the seventies) so there was an internet before the World-Wide Web.
