</br> doesn't give any sense! It has no meaning! <br> is a self closing tag. So, </br> is not necessary! ☺

No difference! Better if you use <br/> because, <br> is error in XHTML!

I know what you mean but br tag dont have closing tag like its optional bro so you have to just use one tag means <br> this tag but some versions like XHTML supports <br /> so thats why it is a good practise to use / in your codes so therefore we just use this symbol to /> if you give it first like </br> this your opening tag will be hidden there is only closing tag you see there so for browser an opening tag is more important therefore we use <br> <br /> tag to show as an opening tag because we have optional closing tag in html or XHTML..... :)

</br> is not a real tag... <br/> is a real tag... The <br> tag inserts a single line break. https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_br.asp

In earlier versions of HTML, this tag <br/> could be read , but this entry is outdated!<br/> - this is a mistake that will be ignored by HTML5 There is a <br /> tag in the XHTML specification.

<br> is a normal HTML tag which means break while <br/> is also break while coding in XHTML
