Introduction
A browser game is a video game that is played via
the World Wide Web using a web browser. Browser
games can be run using standard web technologies
or browser plug-ins. The creation of such games
usually involves use of standard web
technologies as a frontend and other technologies
to provide a backend. Browser games include
all video game genres and can be single-player or 
multiplayer. Browser games are also portable and
can be played on multiple different devices, web
browsers, and operating systems

Characteristics of Browser Games
Browser games like raft wars, territory war etc,
are often free-to-play and do not require any
client software to be installed apart from a web
browser or browser plug-in. In some cases a game
may be free, but charge for extra in-game
features. Multiplayer browser games have an
additional focus on social interaction, either
between several players or on a massive scale.
Due to the accessibility of browser games, they
are often played in more frequent, shorter
sessions compared to traditional computer games.

Controversies In Browser Games

• There are a few controversies involving browser
  games and real-world events, such as the
  2007 Virginia Tech shooting reenactment V-Tech
  Rampage, and NRA CEO Wayne Lapierre targeting the
  game Kindergarten Killers after the 2012 Sandy
  Hook shootings.

Technology And Browser Games
7
Browser games can take advantage of different
technologies in order to function.
1.Web standards Standard web technologies such
as HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript can be used to
make browser games, but these have had limited
success because of issues with browser
compatibility and quality. These technologies
allow for games that can be run in all
standards-compliant browsers.
2. Plug-in Browser plug-ins were used to provide
game technologies after being installed by the
user. As of 2017 most companies (Oracle for Java
plugin, Adobe for Flash Plugin) are considering
ending support for their plugins. Also web
browser manufacturers are leaving the idea of
using plug-ins in their products in the future.
