Web User, branded as WebUser, was a fortnightly magazine published in the United Kingdom from 2001 until 2020. It covered topics relating to computing.

Overview

Web User was founded by IPC Media in 2001.[1][2] The first issue appeared on 22 March.[2] The bulk of the magazine's content consisted of internet news, website reviews and features on web-related topics. It also featured product reviews, free software, free apps, step-by-step workshops, and hints and tips for using computer software, hardware, and websites. The magazine was complemented by a website, launched in tandem in 2001.[2] It was sold in 2010 to Dennis Publishing.[3] It ceased publication after 516 issues in December 2020.

Topics covered include free software; PC security and maintenance; browser add-ons; the best Google tools; and the latest web trends and developments, such as Web 2.0 and social networking.
