Well, that's an interesting idea.

Why do you want to create your own web browser?
Which language did you use?

BTW some issues :
- Can't close a tab.
- Can't double click the window to maximise it.
- Can't put the window on the top of my screen to maximise it.

Why I want to create my own browser? I just want to create small and fast web browser and I had nothing to do in ManiaPlanet...

I want to implement language setting soon, but I need translators for languages I don't know. Example: French, German, Russian, Spanish...

About the issues:
- yes? try ctrl + delete or go to browser/close tab
- about the last 2 bugs: I will fix them soon

[Nerpson]

By language i mean programming language : C++, C#, VB.net, BrainFuck, ...

[adamkooo2]

I am using vb.net

[wooloo]

So it is based off the basic Visual Basic browser?

[adamkooo2]

Yes and no . I am using Tabcontrol with webbrowser which i had to include manually. The browser uses default engine without flash... For now, idk how to fix it :/

BTW:

I am translating the browser into other languages.
Languages I have:
-English
-Slovak (Czech maybe)

Languages I need:
-German
-French
-Spanish
-Russian

... so I decided to ask you, community, if there's guys who want to do it

[SummerThime]

...you want translations for a browser, nobody uses?

For what you need this browser, if you can have firefox or google chrome? Almost everybody watches any videos or gifs at the internet? - without flash? 3/10

[Alexey85]

Is your browser intended for others to use or are you doing this as a learning project? If it is the former, what advantages your browser has or going to have over big ones like Firefox or Chrome?

[adamkooo2]

what advantages your browser has or going to have over big ones like Firefox or Chrome?

the advantages:
- fast
- small usage of space on disc (the aplication has only one megabyte, no other files needed)
- less usage of CPU (on most pages)
- portable

Edit: new advantage is that it is open-source
