Its interactive online book simplifies concepts like TCP/IP, HTML language, browser techniques and the threat of malware while on the Net. Titled 20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web, the short HTPL5-compliant explains how the web works in a step-by-step manner.

The book, created by the Google Chrome web browser team, also provides illustrations by children's book author Christoph Niemann, an award-winning German writer. The book is an outcome of a survey conducted by Google, where in more than 97 percent of the people on the streets could not give a correct answer to what a browser is, says the team.
