    Default browsing and surfing

    1. I am browsing the internet.
    2. I am surfing around internet.

    3. I am browsing the web.
    4. I am surfing the web.

    Are the above sentences correct?

    Thank you,

    Only 1, 3 and 4. I would also write Internet (with a capital i). The same thing for Web (with capital w).

    I see no need for capital letters there.
    SirGod and Rover_KE like this.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
