Hello there :)

I'm glad to show you my web browser. I worked hardly on it for a very long time. But it's still not finished, as you can see above. It has also many features. Some of them are basic which every browser need, but some ones are more than in basic browser. Here is a list of them:

- Icons
- Portable app, no installation and other files needed
- Javascript support
- Automatic clean history
- Print
- Custom Window Form
- Page properties
- Cange size manually
- Custom color of window chooseable
- Homepage
- Fast booting and browsing
- Less than 1MB!
- Tips
- Languages
- Automatic fill url
- Select search engine
- Improved UI
- History will not double or triple
- Bookmarks
- New color (white when it's active and when it's inactive - for Windows 10 users)
- Compactibility with Windows XP
- Settings pannel
- Improved performance by saving settings after quit (it's not always refreshing)
- Web render engine can be upgraded


Things what have been done in 1.1 :

- Improved UI
- Fixed history and bookmarks bugs
- Edited colours
- Bookmarks are now in same panel as history
- Changed icons
- Added new features
- Removed useles scripts and data which weren't used

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

Yes and no :D . 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

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

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

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?

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
