Online games remain to be very popular among kids and adults alike. One of the reasons is they can be played in a variety of ways whether using mobile devices or your desktop computer.
One option available today is the browser game, a computer game that makes use of a web browser. These browser games cover all genres of video games and can be played by a single individual or multiple people. And although they are played via a browser, they can still be played on various devices and operating systems.
Many of these games can be played for free. You don’t have to pay anything although some sites show some ad banners or pre-roll ads at every few levels. There are also sites that will ask for your email address to enable them to send you news and updates on their products. Some may also require you to install a plugin.
Here are four free and fun browser games you can try.
