It's a browser that's superior to Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator (do people still use that?), etc. In addition to being great on its own, there are numerous extensions and themes so that you can sweeten your internet experience according to your own needs and tastes.

It's a sex act involving a bottle of hot sauce and a rubber mallet. I'd avoid it if I were you.

The program is easy. You need Vaseline for the other.
