Add

    Dim newTab As New TabPage
    Dim web As New WebBrowser

right under your "Public Form1"
This adds a new tab with a web browser in it:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim lasttab As Integer = TabControl1.TabCount
        TabControl1.TabPages.Add(newTab)
        TabControl1.TabPages(lasttab).Controls.Add(web)
        newTab.Text = "This is a new tab"
        web.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
    End Sub

This removes it

Dim lasttab As Integer = TabControl1.TabCount
        TabControl1.TabPages.Remove(newTab)

Thank You

Edit: Two question is there a way to call that tab "tab" plus what tab number it is(Plus one each time) and i would be creating multiple tabs is there a way i could still make it all work.
I think i could do this by numbering each tab and taking that number and all the things on that page have that number in it. And search box could see what tab your on and add that number to all the things it does. Is there a way to see the current tab name? (Sorry if you dont understand i can try to refraze)

To get the current tab's name, it would be something along the lines of

Dim tabName As String = TabControl1.SelectedTab.Name
        Console.WriteLine(tabName)
        'Doesn't have to be console.writeline
        'It could be label1.text = tabName or
        'TabControl1.SelectedTab.Text = tabName

As for the other questions, I would like to see a little bit of work on your part. Try to get it done yourself, and then what ever errors you get post them here.

Ok.
The code you just game me does not work i used this"Dim ct As String = TabControl1.SelectedTab.Text"(i used text and name) and it kept saying this was wrong.
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object. "
But i cant figure out which object is wrong because tabcontrol1 is the tab controls name.

You might like to follow the CodeBank link in my signature and check out my Tabbed Web Browser thread. I never did get around to finishing it to the degree I intended but it demonstrates solutions to many of the basic problems.

Ive been using this to navigate and other things
CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).Navigate(ComboBox1.Text)
but im only abel to get two tabs then when i create a third or fourth only the first one works. I can give more code if you need.
