Does any one know how to make your own browser? I've already tried browser bob, it's not so good to download though. I also don't like paying for things on the web, i like 100% FREE stuff!

Thanks for the help.

A completely new browser? or an IE based one?

Umm, if you are trying to make a new browser, you would need to know how to program EXTREMELY well, and probably would need to know "C" You also would need to know how to make web based applications, hard stuff.

Making a browser based on either IE or Netscape is extremely easy in VisualBasic. In fact, a basic browser is usually one of the samples provided in VB beginners tutorials... but if you're not willing to spend anything, VB is out of the question and I really don't know anything else.

Dusty, everything is extremely easy in Visual Basic.

I have microsoft visual studio, and I just got the new msdn library. (ALL LEGAL!) and yes I said if he is going to make one from scratch, and in VB it would be easy to make an IE based, but that is easy for a GOOD programmer a begginer would never be able to do it, it all depends on your programming abilities. Not that I am great at programming but I do have a good knowledge at it.

When I first started in visual basic I was like, this is the easiest thing I have ever done! then I looked at Visual c++

You can customise Opera to your own branding and totally redesign it at composer.opera.com

Hey what do you all think the best browser is anyway, I currently use IE 6 on my main and IE 5.5 on my other, (one has xp, and 2000 os's) What do you all use and reccomend.

The only browser I use is IE 6 and it is dependable for me. I have Opera somewhere on a CD... it isn't that great so I didn't install it.

There are major problems with the cookies on IE6 and how it caches files. It tends to make me mad at times...honestly I like IE 5.5 the best. But IE6 will get a service pack soon (hopefully)

Running IE6 on XP though :-)
