Actually, I'm one of the people who have their browser set to clear the history when I close out of the window, so it doesn't build up and slow down my comp. So being able to delete the history would be something I would find important.

The key to designing a web browser is to base it off not what most people do, but what everybody does. You want to implement options so that you aren't excluding any key users.


But you need a history feature for Weby. Leaving it out is not good. That would be your major flaw in getting it distributed across the web.

Though the fact you coded in VB and not GM makes me interested. Just work on a few features and I might give it a go.

I never tought I would post it, but here it is: Weby 0.0.1.0 BETA!

Maybe it's a bit worse than....the previous version, I need a few people to test it, for me it works fine :P
Now it uses Skybound Gecko engine, the same engine that Firefox uses, unfortunatelly now it's forever attached to XULrunner.

It make take a few time till I add features on it, but this is my progress so far.

Edit: Noticed that the shortcut doesn;t work... eh In Application files folder there is an executable with "Weby's icon" (happy earth), make a shortcut for it and done.

So basically instead of using IE's engine you used Firefox's engine. OK.

Actually, Chromium and Mozilla's sources are great to use, since they're open-source and great ways to learn...don't see a problem with that.
