How do you program a web browser?
Posted on October 31st, 2009 by admin
How would you go about making your own web browser? What kind of code? How do you host it?
Maybe giving it special features? Showy looking animations? A function like on Vista where you can look at all the open web pages and choose one?
Instead of programming a browser you can use the core of, let say, Firefox and let it do all the HTTP and so on and create a fancy interface in .Net or Java.
You can write a fancy Adobe Air application that will be able to get some nice UI out.
I would go with .Net and the IE and start from there to make the fancy graphics and UI come to life.

Fancy add-ons are not a good idea on browsers. People like to be able to just open one and see the page they want. Any extras they like the option to choose. You need serious experience in a programming language like C++ or similar.
