Custom Browser project want ideas and well... help ?

ok
well im new here and i hope this is the correct place to post this
anyway...
i started creating the simple tutorial browser like a week ago and now im slowly modifying it into an advanced one
currently i have the project called ArachniD browser v1,v2, and now v3 is my current platform
also have a custom (green scorpion) v2 version browser for kicks

i am trying to create a favorites/ bookmark for my web browser but i havent found any good tutorials of how to do it, some ideas or help would be nice.

i am also trying to make a way to open links in a new tab if the user wants to.

i am running into an issue which is i get an error when running scripts on some pages, it usually happens if its a flash game or a active advertisement (wish i could run add block plus on this)

i also would like ideas of other programs that may be useful when browsing, currently users can use all print options, new tab, delete tab, open new window, web properties, web options, open notepad, , open command prompt, open calculator.

currently the browser runs about 28,000 kb when running, but if user does flash games it can hit 100,000 kb with a 20,000 flash player plugin

the projects intent is to create a low footprint browser that can run all typical and some unique options for users.

Please don't bump your thread. It's extremely disrespectful of the many people here who are very generous with their time in helping people with genuine difficulties. They are not underany obligation to you. If you're not getting replies it's because there is a lack of any obvious question that people can respond to. If you're having a problem, please be specific about what the problem is and post only that section of your code which you suspect to be at fault.

Hi
My first post
I have a tabbed web browser. Works very well
Sub AddTabPage(ByVal URLFound)

Dim tp As New TabPage()

tab1.TabPages.Add(tp)

Dim web1 As New WebBrowser()
web1.Name = "web"
web1.Navigate(URLFound)

tp.Controls.Add(web1)
tab1.SelectedTab = tp

End Sub

I would like to detect if someone clicks a link in one of the browsers.
eg: Original URL was www.apple.com but is now www.apple.com/ipad

I have tried
CType(tab1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).ShowPropertiesDialog()
Which does display the updated URL
How can I extract it

Kind regards

I'm not really sure that I understand what you're looking for here but URL is a property of the WebBrowser control so it's always accessible, eg. ..

Me.Text = wb.Url.ToString

If you want to detect that the browser Url is changing or has changed there are several events you can employ; Navigating, Navigated, DocumentCompleted.
