Widgets are a pretty generic term these days. There are widgets for almost every application and are written to run either in a browser page, or on a computer desktop.
Each Operating System platform seems to have a widget or gadget system built-in. (Windows, Mac, linux) And Google, Yahoo, Opera all have widget capabilities that run in your browser.
So your question is very broad, so depending on your specific reason for using a widget will determine where to get it.
A good introduction and easy way to start using widgets is on iGoogle. This is Google's "home page" or "start-up" page you might want to use for your browsers home page.
The Google widget system is pretty well developed and can give you a good idea of widget uses, even if later you want these widgets on your desktop instead of within a browser.
