it looks fine, but go ahead and rearrange your tabs, and tell me it's not clunky. While you're at it, drag one tab out of the window, to make a new one, and tell me it's not clunky.
1. Start Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
2. Press "File" and then "New Menu" (Or use CTRL+N for a shortcut)
3. Select "Windows Form Application" and Name your new Web Browser. (eg. My Web Browser)
4. Then You should see a workspace named "Form1" (That means your browsers name is Form1 at the moment)
5. Click on where it says "Form1" once and go to the properties panel located in the bottom right corner and look for the "text" property, change that to whatever you wish your web browser to be called.
6. Now add 6 buttons which can be found in the "toolbox" located at the left and name them: Back, Forward, Refresh, Stop, Home and Go.
7. Now add a text box which will be used as the address bar. Position all of the items you have around your workspace (You can extend your workspace)
8. Now go back to the toolbox and look for the tool called "Web Browser" add that to your workspace. If the web browser tool takes over a lot of space Click on your web browser tool and look on the top right corner of the web browser tool and you should see a small arrow pointing right. Click that and press "Unlock in parent container" then you will be able to resize it etc.. So resize it and out it where you want.
9. Now the coding. Double click on back and type the following:
webbrowser1.goback
Now double click on forward at type:
webbrowser1.goforward
Now double click on refresh and type:
webbrowser1.refresh
Now double click on stop and type:
webbrowser1.stop
Now double click on home and type:
webbrowser1.gohome
Now double click on go and type:
webbrowser1.navigate (textbox1.text)
10. Your web browser is now officially complete click on the green play button at the top to view your web browser.
NOTE: You have to press "Go" to go to a page, you can't press enter although if you want to follow these steps:
11. Click on "Form1" once or if you have renamed it then click on it.
12. Go to the property's panel and find "Accept Button" Click on the arrow and select which ever one you made the "Go" button and then you will be able to press "go"

i tell you what i like about chrome, that the tabs are inside the bar at the top. very svelte, very sexy. its all so minimalistic, you only have what you need, and that's it. loading status only appears, when you're loading, meaning there is no bar that the bottom wasting precious screen space. and now Chrome has plugins, you can bloat it out as much as you please. I, on the other hand, will not be doing that.
