Building a web browser from scratch

I'm wondering whether we have any CEans who are considering building an Internet browser from scratch on their own.

Its not an easy task, for sure. What's involved in building it from scratch?

    Well it is not a easy task to do 😕
    Using Visual studio C# Express we can able to do this
    Once use the C# Express WebBrowser control, then Need to develop MenuStrip ,Buttons, Textboxes, TabControl for new web page(new tab), ComboBox for Favorites

    Need to think on these point

    -Fetches external content

    - autocompleting URLs

    -Handles different content types

    -Parses HTML and XML

    -Parses and applies CSS


    Also need to learn all about the tcp/ip and http

    It's a huge project.☕

    hey nice thread(point) keep this thread alive 👍

    Does it involve building a JavaScript rendering engine?

    yes,it is very important for css, XML, HTML,image files
    we can use Trident,Gecko or Webkit
    - Chrome is that the former utilizes the Webkit rendering engine whilst the latter uses the Gecko rendering engine
    - Trident is engine from Internet Explorer
    - Mozilla-Gecko

    Visual Studio C# Express would be great to use, since its free. Its probably worth a shot?
