Individual Web Browser

[x DeaDLy]

I made a web browser in VB 2008. Does creating a web browser in VB 2008 require Internet Explorer to be installed? If so, than how can i make it so that I build my own unique web browser without it needing the support of Internet Explorer.

I think you need to be a bit realistic. To create your own web browser that doesn't depend on any existing browser's engine, you're going to have to write all the code to parse HTML code, render the results to the screen, execute JavaScript, detect clicks on links and send the appropriate HTTP requests and catch the responses. That is a big, BIG job.

lol ya you are right that is one huge job. Takes big skills. Im still willing to learn it though

I've been coding in VB.NET since 2004 and I wouldn't even consider that project unless I was being paid handsomely by someone. Stick to smaller projects that you have a hope of implementing.
