browser a compiler or interpreter?

[Robert]

A Web browser uses interpreter to execute programs

A compiler transforms source code into another computer's language

i.e. from source language to destination language

A interpreter also converts high level language to low level but it executes the programming language without in steps. i.e. even if error occurs in a single line of program the process stops.

the major difference between them is that, a interpreter translated line-by-line while a compiler translates on the whole.

is error occurs in any part, the report is generated in a interpreter
