Question by Lady Bidelbin: How do you program a web browser?
How would you go to your own web browser? What kind of code? How can you host? Perhaps there are special features? Striking looking animations? As a function of Vista, where you can find all your open Web pages, and select one?
Best answer:
Answer by Colinc
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.

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.
you CAN write an entire web browser in C++ but there are programs that let you create your own browser, you can add things like buttons, web icons,a desktop icon,menus, anything you want, have a look at
