A BOM is a set of global objects that control browser behavior. All of them are also found within window. Let's take a look at some of them.
Navigator
Provides information about the browser, such as version, name, locale used, available permissions, and plug-ins enabled.
Location
Allows you to manage the address bar. For example, this is how you can initiate the loading of another page:
location.href = 'https://hexlet.io';
History
By using this object, you can navigate through the history of transitions, as well as form it in situations where there is no real transition through the pages.
Fetch
A modern method for executing AJAX requests. Communication with the server and other sites takes place using the fetch() function. You can learn more about this in a future lesson.
