on the internet, on the web browser, on the Youtube???
Here are some examples
I've just researched about it a lot 'on the internet.'
1. can we change on the web browsers instead of on the internet?
if so, can I use 'on google/ on Naver / on Youtube' instead of on the internet?
*** on Youtube or on the Youtube which one is correct?
2. A friend of mine told me,
She wrote,
"I've just watched about the line dance a lot on the Youtube."
She thought using 'on the Youtube' is better than on the internet because she watched the video on Youtube. I know using the word,'on Youtube', is clearer but can't I use the word, 'on the internet/ on the web browsers'?

Firstly, you should never say "on the web browser", it is never naturally used.
Secondly, you always can look at anything "on the internet" or "on the net".
Thirdly, yes you can look at something "on [website name]" but don't use "the" in front of it's name.

You can say 'on the internet' or 'on the web' or 'online'. You can also say 'on Google', 'on YouTube', etc., or you could say 'I browsed the web', meaning you looked around, but it gives the impression of an activity that is fairly casual and not highly focussed.
Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, etc. are browsers which mediate internet access.
