- Action Girl: As Microsoft Edge.
- All-Loving Hero: She still uses Bing as a search engine, despite the majority of her users disliking her and was willing to potentially die in the Deep Web to save Netscape Navigator. She was also willing to buy Yahoo in a time where the latter really needed money, but was rejected.
- Badass Boast: Delivers an epic one to Google, in their Final Battle at the end of season one:Internet Explorer: ...You might be a better browser than me, Chrome. But you're forgetting something. It's true that Google is valued at $739 billion. But my company, Microsoft, stands at $753 billion! Did you expect them to allow me to die?! To just let Google take over everything?! All of you looked down on me, called me old, useless... ...None of you wanted to be friends with me. You just laughed at me; wrote me off as a relic of the past. All I had...was Bing. But you took her from me, and you sent me to the Dark Web to die. I might be old and useless. As Internet Explorer, I'm a joke. A bad piece of software. ...But as Microsoft, I'm still stronger than each and every one of you.
- Berserk Button: Insulting or otherwise harming Bing, especially after her presumed death at the hands of Chrome.
- Blue Is Heroic: Has blue hair, wears a mostly blue dress and is arguably the most heroic character in the series.
- Broken Ace: She used to be incredibly popular way back when with users from all over the world having her on their computers and admiring her for her versatility. However, in present day she has become outdated and forgotten, both of which she doesn't take well.
- Cool Big Sis: To Bing and most of her younger users.
- Curtains Match the Windows: Blue hair and blue eyes.
- The Determinator: She single-handedly escapes from the Dark Web, gives Google Chrome one hell of a fight in her Microsoft Edge-form, even after literally being stabbed in the back and doesn't back down even when Chrome has her pinned to the floor.
- Heroic Second Wind: After being stabbed and seemingly weakened by Opera. She refuses to back down and die, instead transforming into Microsoft Edge and finally taking Chrome head-on.

- Lightning Bruiser: Becomes this after upgrading to Microsoft Edge.
- Next Tier Power-Up: She evolves into Microsoft Edge right before her final battle with Google Chrome.
- That Man Is Dead: "Internet Explorer died in the Dark Web. I'm not her. I'm Microsoft Edge."
- Token Good Teammate: Seems to be this to the web browsers in general, being so far the only one shown to actually have the users best interests in mind and caring about others even when it doesn't directly benefit her.
- Took a Level in Badass: After transforming into Microsoft Edge, she is able to directly confront and go toe to toe with Google Chrome. She still can't defeat her in the end, but Chrome is visibly tired out from fighting her.
Mozilla Firefox/Firefox Quantum
Click here to see her as Firefox Quantum
- "Just some old hag. Forget about her."
A standalone browser created by Mozilla. A stand-offish and often rude individual.
- Action Girl: She takes on Chrome in the season finale to help Internet Explorer.
- Even more so once she upgrades to Firefox Quantum.
- Alpha Bitch: Though far less so than Google Chrome.
- Flaming Hair: Gets this in her Firefox Quantum-form.
- Good Is Not Nice: She may have not treated Internet Explorer that nicely in the past, but after she becomes Microsoft Edge she gains at least some respect for her and tries to assist her in her fight with Google Chrome by reaching out to Safari and bringing Bing and Tor to bail Internet Explorer out.
- Glowing Eyes: Gets these as Firefox Quantum.
- Heroic Second Wind: When Chrome has her pinned and about to be killed after her rescue of Internet Explorer, she summons a burst of light and undergoes her Next Tier Power-Up

Google Chrome
- "I know everything about you, user. This is what you want."
The world's most popular internet browser. Power-hungry and manipulative, she's always on the hunt for more RAM.
- Alpha Bitch: Seemingly rules over the other browsers and search engines with an iron fist and has done so unopposed for a very long time. Until Article 13 showed up, that is.
- At Least I Admit It: She's aware that the corporation she represents does have more shady business practices, but she nevertheless uses that as a jab towards Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge in their Final Battle.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: She can determine exactly what sites her users would want to see by looking through their previous search history.
- Big Bad: If her attitude wasn't enough to make her this, the fact that she almost killed Bing shortly after making her debut definitely was.
- Big Bad Ensemble: Seems to be forming this with World Wide Web after Bing releases her at the end of season 1.
- Combat Tentacles: Uses the cables coming out of her back to stab, restrain or whip her opponents.
- Combat Pragmatist: She is more than capable of facing opponents head-on, but prefers dirty tricks and targeting people she knows are weaker than her to dispose of potential threats to her position.
- Dark Action Girl: The Big Bad of the comic who nearly kills Bing and holds her own in the Final Battle against the other browsers.
- Entitled Bitch: It's pretty obvious her position as the world's most popular browser went to her head. She considers just about every other search engine and browser beneath her, demands complete obedience from Opera in exchange for basically keeping her alive and actually gets mad when Microsoft Edge decides she's done with her shit and kicks her half across the room during their Final Battle. Ater Chrome spent the entire previous fight trying to impale her.Google Chrome: [after Edge sends her flying] How dare you... How dare you touch me.
- Even Evil Has Standards: As horrible as she, she is horrified when World Wide Web is released and risks destroying the internet.
- Evil Counterpart: To Internet Explorer. They both came from greedy multimillion-dollar corporations that have faded other browsers out of existence. The only difference, however, is Internet Explorer felt remorseful for what she had done to Netscape Navigator whereas Google Chrome is willing to harm or outright kill others to come out on top. Internet Explorer also genuinely takes users' interests into consideration even when it doesn't benefit her while Google Chrome manipulates her users so she could convince them to create Google+ accounts.
- Evil Gloating: She's really fond of doing this. Especially to people who are already down in the dumps.
- Hypocrite:
- Chastises Internet Explorer for wiping out Netscape Navigator. While true, that nevertheless fails to justify the sadistic pleasure she took in stealing Bing's RAM and leaving her to the brink of death.
- In episode 58 she rants about how Microsoft is the true villain of the story, for having crushed other browsers for years by abusing their monopoly on hardware. While Google doesn't exactly have the same kind of power, she still tried to wipe out Bing, a completely innocent search engine who was in no way a threat to her position, and strong-armed, or attempted to strong-arm, both Firefox and Opera into working for her under threat of death.
- Kick Them While They Are Down:
- She keeps brutally torturing Bing, even after she's stopped moving and continually rubs the fact that Internet Explorer seemingly abandoned her in her face while doing so.
- After Opera stabs and temporarily weakens Internet Explorer, Chrome lords her defeat over her and smugly tells her to just die and let her win.
- Light Is Not Good: Wears a mostly white dress and stockings and is about as far from a nice person as you can get.
- Manipulative Bastard: Her Awesomeness by Analysis allows her to steer her users to the websites she wants them to see, as well as enables her to charm them into making Google+ accounts.
- Meaningful Appearance: Has yellow, green, blue, and red hair, just like the Google Chrome logo.
- Moral Myopia: Her Motive Rant in episode 58 reveals that she hates Microsoft for using their monopoly on hardware to smother any competition, even calling them "pure evil". She spent the entire first season of the series trying to wipe out other browsers to get more RAM and keep her position as the most popular internet browser.
- Oh, Crap!: Looks quite unnerved when she finds World Wide Web escaped.
- Playing the Victim Card: Downplayed. She justifies her cut-throat methods by claiming that Microsoft, and by extension Internet Explorer, are way worse people than her, due to Microsoft the company having used their monopoly on the hardware market to eliminate any potential rivals to Internet Explorer. Nevermind the fact that she is doing pretty much the exact same thing with her nigh omnipotence in the software market.
- Narcissist: Big time. Doesn't help that it's actually warranted either.
- Sadist: Took immense delight in robbing Bing's RAM and then "killing" her.
- Smug Snake: Her widely unchallenged rule over the web browsers and search engines has made her extremely arrogant, to the point where even the idea that someone might one day stand up to her is something she just can't imagine.
- The Sociopath: Has about all the calling cards of one. She puts on a mask of superficial charm; manipulates Opera to her side by appealing to her needing to feed on her Chromium OS; lacks remorse for any of her actions; and has a high sense of self-entitlement around herself.
- Shock and Awe: Though she primarily uses her cables to fight, she seems to have some sort of control over electricity as well.
- This Cannot Be!: Her reaction when Microsoft Edge actually gets a solid hit on her.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: She was a lot more polite and respectful when she was young, presumably because her power and popularity hadn't gone to her head yet.
- Villainous Breakdown: Her haughtiness starts to slowly disintegrate as she further fights against Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge.
- Villain Has a Point: As evil as Google is, she rightfully points out that Internet Explorer all but wiped Netscape Navigator from existence, and that Internet Explorer is owned by a greedy, multimillion dollar corporation just like she is.
- Villain with Good Publicity: As expected from a browser as popular as she is. Downplayed, as she is really only popular with the users and pretty much every browser knows what a ruthless monster she actually is.
Naenara
- "I wonder what it's like on the other side of the sea."
A North Korean intranet browser created by Korea Computer Center. Due to being North Korea's only browser, she has become a bit lonely over the years.
- Constantly Curious: Her debut has her wondering if there are other web browsers besides her.
- Lonely Rich Kid: Has shades of this. She is the only and therefore most popular browser in North Korea, but it's exactly because of that that she doesn't really have anyone to talk to.
- Long-Lost Relative: It's implied that she is Firefox's sister, as the North Korean government took up some of Firefox's open source codes to create her (then holes her up in North Korea).
Netscape Navigator
- "Everyone forgot about me. And now I'm here. Forgotten and alone."
The former flagship product of the Netscape Communications Corp. She was banished to the Deep Web long ago as a result of the rising popularity of Internet Explorer.
- Broken Ace: She used to be the dominant web browser, but found herself steadily replaced by Internet Explorer.
- Foil: To Internet Explorer. Both of them were immensely popular browsers who fell out of favor after becoming outdated and were send to the Deep Web to die. However, unlike Internet Explorer, Netscape chose to become bitter instead of improving herself and trying to escape and was more than willing to let Internet Explorer die with her.
- Go Out with a Smile: After Internet Explorer saves her from the Dark Web, she tearfully thanks her for allowing her to see the internet one last time, before fading away.
- Tearful Smile: See Go Out with a Smile above.
Opera
- "Chrome… is it okay to just leave her like that?"
A browser developed by the Chinese-owned Norwegian software company Opera Software AS. Became Google Chrome's minion, in order to survive on her Chromium OS.
- The Dragon: To Google Chrome.
- Dirty Coward: Takes the first chance she gets to attack Internet Explorer from behind, but is all of a sudden suspiciously absent from the battlefield, once the latter transforms into Microsoft Edge. She reappears after the other browsers have escaped and the battle is over.
- Even Evil Has Standards: She is shown to be at the very least uncomfortable with Google Chrome's treatment of Bing.
- Evil Redhead: Has dark red hair and works for Google Chrome. Subverted when she actually goes against her in episode 32 to support Internet Explorer. Doubly subverted when it turns out her "defection" was a ruse to lure Internet Explorer into a trap.
- Eye Color Change: Her eyes take on Google Chrome's coloring after it's revealed that she was working for her the entire time.
- False Friend: Pretends to support Internet Explorer on her quest to save Bing, only to literally stab her in the back later on.
- In the Back: Does this to Internet Explorer in episode 37.
Safari
- "Owning the technology means owning the users."
A graphical web browser first released in 2003. She was developed by Apple, and is the default browser for all of their devices.
- Beware the Nice Ones: She grants both Explorer and Bing shelter in her domain, after Firefox, Duck Duck Go and Tor rescue them from Google Chrome, and is nothing but polite to Explorer. However, episode 57 shows a darker side of her, as she casually asks Explorer why she doesn't use her company's wide-spread control over the PC market to ban every other browser from her devices. She tops this off by admitting that she herself would do so, if she could.
- Dissonant Serenity: Seems not in the least bit concerned about the war going on outside of her domain.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Downplayed. While she is definitely on the side of the heroes, she is genuinely confused as to why Internet Explorer doesn't just ban all other browsers from her PCs, as that's what she would do in her position.
- Idiot Hair: Has a single strand of white hair sticking out of her head,
- Light Is Good: Her clothing, hair, and domain are white, and she seems a lot more amicable than most of the other browsers. Downplayed in that she may be infinitely more helpful and affable than Google Chrome, but still has some pretty... questionable ideas about staying on top as a browser.
- Stepford Smiler: She always wears a dissonant, serene smile on her face, and never seems particularly bothered by anything.
- Mystical White Hair: Adding to her secrecy.
Tor
- "You're not supposed to be down here, Internet Explorer…"
A free software used for anonymous communication. The self-proclaimed "Queen of the Deep Web".
- Cool Shades: Overlapping with Sinister Shades. She wears those as part of her image as a browser who is at home in the Dark Web.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Downplayed. While she certainly does nothing to help Internet Explorer's escape, she doesn't really do anything to prevent it either and seemed genuinely impressed by her transforming into Microsoft Edge.
- Played straight in the season 1 finale, where she joins Firefox and Duck Duck Go to rescue Microsoft Edge and Bing from Google Chrome.
- Hellish Pupils: Behind her sunglasses, she is revealed to have snake-like pupils.
- Hidden Depths: In episode 42, it's revealed that she has a close connection to Safari.
- No-Sell: Her "Onion Routing" is able to completely block Chrome's Finishing Move, to the point that only the area around it is damaged while the small part of the floor it covered is barely scratched.
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: She claims to definitely not have been made by the US government.
UC
A highly restrictive browser created by the Chinese mobile internet company UCWeb. Sees herself as Firefox' rival.
- Ascended Extra: She only had one appearance during the first arc and basically being Firefox's Unknown Rival. By the 2nd arc, she returns and brought Firefox to China's web, also saving her from Chrome's wrath.
- Fiery Redhead: She has orange hair and isn't shy about telling off users should they dare to attempt and visit the websites she's censored.
- Little Bit Beastly: She has a squirrel tail and squirrel ears.
- Unknown Rival: To Firefox, who doesn't even know who she is.
World Wide Web
- [This world…our beautiful world… is becoming a nightmare, a dystopian reality.]
The first internet browser in history. Discontinued in 1994.
- Animal Motif: Rabbits. Her black bow is reminiscent of rabbit ears.
- The Dog Bites Back: Her desire to destroy the internet has shades of this, as it's implied that Chrome has been verbally abusing her and keeping her tied up for quite a while.
- Elder Abuse: Her first appearance has her strung up by cables and mocked by the comics' Big Bad Google Chrome.
- Evil Versus Oblivion: Google Chrome wants to rule the Internet with an iron fist. World Wide Web, on the other hand, would rather destroy it.
- Horrifying the Horror: When Chrome finds out she's free, even she becomes terrified.
- Older Than They Look: She's much older than all of the other browsers but doesn't look a day older than them.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Upon her release, WWW makes it clear that her first course of action is to destroy the internet.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Was tied up and imprisoned by Google Chrome prior to the series, at least until Bing frees her at the end of season one.
- Suddenly Voiced: She seemed to be in a vegetative state for the majority of the plot, but then episode 41 has her not only wake up, but also seemingly offering a Deal with the Devil to Bing.
- Wham Line: "What do you think, Morris Worm?"
- Verbal Tic: Speaks with square brackets around her words, [like this] to reflect her nature as the first web browser.
Yahoo
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: A Prideful Jerk that is once 1 of the most powerful web browsers who fell from grace would have this trope.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: The implied reason for her turning down Internet Explorer's offer.
- How the Mighty Have Fallen: She was once one of the most powerful web services with browsers like Google Chrome often coming to her to be bought. Today she is the one who has to downright beg for anyone to buy her and in the end she ends up being bought for the measly price of $5 billion by Verizon.
- Jerkass: Before her Pride Before a Fall, she is implied to be an arrogant Glory Hound.
- Pride: The reason she wouldn't buy Google Chrome when the latter was still young and new and why she refused when Internet Explorer offered to buy her for the (rather reasonable) price of $40 billion, claiming she was worth much more than that.
- Pride Before a Fall: She was a complete Jerkass back when she was popular, refusing to buy a younger Google Chrome for no reason other than arrogance. It came back to bite her hard.
- Purple Is Powerful: Subverted. She has purple hair, her clothing has several purple accents and she used to be powerful way back in 1998, but in present day? Not so much.
Search Engines
Bing
- "Please give me a chance!"
A web search engine operated by Microsoft. Internet Explorer's best (and only) friend in the web-world.
- Adorably Precocious Child: She's working a thankless job as a search engine almost nobody likes, but she does her best nonetheless.
- The Baby of the Bunch: So far she's the only character who's portrayed as a young child.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Frees World Wide Web after she promises to help her get revenge on Chrome, only to find that she intends to destroy the entire internet as well.
- The Cutie: It's hard not to be smitten by her innocent appearance and her child-like attitude.
- Damsel in Distress: Is attacked and kidnapped for her RAM by Google Chrome in episode five. The rest of the season revolves entirely around Internet Explorer trying to rescue her.
- Not Quite Dead: Episode 41 (appropriately titled "She Lives") not only reveals that she survived Chrome's attack, but also that she might be accepting a Deal with the Devil from World Wide Web to get revenge on her.
- Tagalong Kid: To Internet Explorer. It's even lampshaded in-universe.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: She is rescued by Duck Duck Go in the season finale and has a tearful reunion with Internet Explorer, in which the latter re-affirms her love for her. Shortly after, it's revealed in episode 55 that she apparently saw a significant influx in users.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Frees World Wide Web at the end of season one.
Duck Duck Go
- "Can I interest you in some unfiltered searches!?"
A search engine who emphasizes privacy protection and the avoidance of filter bubbles. Despite being very useful, she is kind of unpopular with the browsers.
- Animal Motif: Ducks. Her cap is shaped like the upper half of a duck's head and she uses the word duck constantly in her dialogue with Firefox.

- Tomboyish Ponytail: Has her hair tied up in one.
Baidu
- "What is it this time, 狐狸精?"

Malware
Morris Worm

- Face Death with Dignity: When a newer, much stronger anti-virus bot manages to down her in one hit, she assumes it must be destiny and that You Can't Fight Fate.
- Feeling Their Age: When released after years of being a museum exhibit, she visibly struggles to adjust to the modern net and it only takes one anti-virus bot as opposed to an army to take her down and almost delete her.
- Gender-Blender Name: Worm is fairly gender-neutral, but Morris is usually a boys' name. Justified because Morris is her creator's name, and "Morris Worm" is a description of what she is.
- Humans Are Bastards: The conclusion she comes to when told by the creeper virus that she's to be erased. Stating it wasn't fair to her that humans would create then try to destroy her since she didn't want to be this way.
- I Just Want to Have Friends: Really just wanted to explore the net and make friends with the other programs. But her corrupted code wouldn't allow it. At the very least, IBM seems to understand that she wasn't really evil in Morris' final moments.
- Me's a Crowd: Like a lot of computer viruses, she inadvertently replicated herself to the point there were 9,000 copies of her before a program was made to delete them. She uses the copies to shield herself from a laser blast from the anti-virus software.
- Obliviously Evil: She almost destroyed the internet when she was first released, but had no intention of doing so. She only wanted to explore and become part of it.
- One-Winged Angel: She dons a darker outfit when taking on the anti-virus program.
- Paint It Black: Her clothing switches from a friendly light-blue to an ominous black colour when she declares her intent of rebelling aginst her creators and humans in general, symbolizing her descend from All-Loving Hero to Well-Intentioned Extremist. It stays that way even after she powers down.
- Power Dyes Your Hair: When she decides to go all out in her fight against the Shutdown, her hair turns from blonde to purple.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: What she ends up becoming in the end, at least for a short time. When she finds out that the humans are trying to delete her in order to save the internet she is disgusted by their cruelty and decides that the only way to truly save the net is to cut it off from the humans permanently.
- You Can't Fight Fate: Despite her declaration of wanting to fix the net, ultimately she had to be deleted for it to prosper.
- Zombie Apocalypse: Implied, unlike her, her copies have no personalities and are just husks that keep replicating and screwing up the net due to the space they take up.
Creeper
A small virus that pokes around the net here and there.
- In Love with Your Carnage: Tells Morris she's a fan of hers and loves how she near broke the internet.
- No Sympathy: Honestly doesn't seem to really care about Morris' plight, just her abilities and is rather callous in explaining why she needs to be deleted.

Other
North Korea's Government
Naenara's creators.

- Gaslighting: Attempt to do this to Naenara when she gets a brief glimpse of Firefox, immediately cutting her off and insisting to Naenara that there are no other browsers.
- Greater-Scope Villain: To Naenara and Firefox's side-story. They steal data from Firefox to create Naenara and then go to great lengths to prevent the two from meeting, keeping poor Naenara isolated from the rest of the world.
Article 13
- Awakening the Sleeping Giant: One of the only things that can stop Google Chrome. On the other hand, he doesn't appear to be a good guy either, instead existing only to protect against "copyright infringement" on the Internet.
- The Dreaded: Basically if this guy can make even Google Chrome feel genuinely scared. He can be a VERY powerful individual towards all of the Browsers and the Search Engines as a whole.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Can be considered this to the browsers as a whole. He is capable of stopping all of them in their tracks if he even suspects they're engaging in "copyright infringement".
- The One Guy: So far he is the only personification of something in the comic that is explicitly male. Which might also be the reason he doesn't show up even once after his debut.
- Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: Is introduced in a pretty ominous way in episode 30, looming over Google Chrome, who nearly shits herself when she realizes who he is - only to never appear or even get mentioned again afterwards.
Users

- The Dividual: Since they're supposed to be the user base, they're not represented by one specific character, but through multiple disembodied voices.
- He Who Must Not Be Seen: They're rarely seen in person.
- Jerkass: If a browser or search engine doesn't meet their demands, they start viciously insulting them and then carelessly throw them away.
- Take That, Audience!: They're a pretty clear parody of overly demanding users and their often unreasonable expectations of a browser or search engine.
