Navegador ou pesquisador

Watheverf the case might be. See Microsofts's own estandardized explanation for this:
Translate 'browser' as 'navegador' when it refers to a program used to view formatted Web documents (e.g. Internet Explorer). Otherwise, translate it as 'pesquisador' (e. g. Directory Browser=> Pesquisador de diretório, and Object Browser=> Pesquisador de objeto.)
