Abstract:

A web browser system has a network that connects a user computer having a local database with local database entries therein with a central database having central database entries therein. A web browser has a domain name entry area for entering a domain name corresponding to the website. A controller compares the domain name to a plurality of database entries within a local database. When the domain name is not in the local database, the domain name is compared to a plurality of central database entries in a central database through the network. When the domain name is in the local database or central database, access to the website is enabled. In addition to the system, parsing is performed to determine the final destination and domain name. The website may also include sponsorship information in an educational format.
