[DEV] The Internet browser with no name

[iDenning]

Hey

I'm going to start developing an Internet browser, I'm prepared for all the flamers so before you post, think twice.

I'm looking for a name to start with, as Ill be looking to attract young people who only visit a small amount of websites. (Such as habbo, fansites, forums)

I'm looking for ideas too, on what to add. This will be version one so it will be pretty basic but Id still love to add some awesome features.

An idea I have thought of is to make it Habbo based, a Habbo browser. Which means once opened it will go straight to habbo.co.uk (or chosen language on installation) and have an option to view all the current official fansites and top forums etc.

Its an idea i'd like to achieve but I dont think many Habbo users would use it as they'd feel for their security.

Send me some ideas and what you think a browser MUST have.. If you want to help develop then just PM or post.

Thanks.

Send me some ideas and what you think a browser MUST have

It must use a better html rendering engine than simply being a face for the engine behind Internet Explorer.

[Chippiewill]

Are you making a web browser or just a tacky skin slapped on top. Also, webkit ftw.

[Blob]

So basically your using a engine and just pointing it to different websites in vb?

[Fehm]

He's dragging a few boxes in Visual Basic 6 and thinking woo amazing.

[Jahova]

If it's from scratch: I'm interested.
If it's using vb or C pre-made (practically): No thanks.

[iDenning]

It wouldn't work if it was dragged in as they'd have no function :$

[iDenning]

Update;
Radios now play (shoutcast on a website)
Loading status of website added

More to come :)

And for some reason (I didnt mean to do it) it loads really fast and websites loadtime are really fast :)

[Fehm]

previews please? Cause it looks like your piling on the **.

[iDenning]

Will post previews in about half hour.. Doing some designing on it now.

[Mickword]

Hmmm, half hour?

[Jack!]

You do have a name for it. Its really very simple. ' The Internet Browser '
Hmmm, half hour? i was thinking the same

*cough*Inet Exploder front*cough*

[iDenning]

Sorry taking longer than I thought.

Blame my brother for ordering pizza and a big meal tehe. Will post tonight definetly.

[Jayke]

Good luck dude. How about "Habrowser" or "Habbrowser" simple and cheesy but serves the purpose you need.

[CoDKiLLa]

[Jayke]

REMOVED: HAD ERROR LOOK AT MY NEXT POST

This is just after a few hours of development.

More will be added but im hoping to keep it looking simple and 'cool'.

That preview was with it minimised. So beware it is bigger xD

Thanks.

[CoDKiLLa]

nice, try not to add LOADS otherwise it'll become slow *yawnz*

[jacko2244]

The web-browser looks amazing, I've seen it myself as I was asked to be a beta tester.

Btw I love them back, forward, refresh and stop buttons. ^^

[Jayke]

Any way of me becomming a tester?

Whats Ugly about it? Ill change stuff as I aim to please :eusa_danc

[Richie]

I don't like the idea of a habbo browser sorry :( For the buttons I think you should just have a solid colour rather than an actual imagine but thats just my opinion.


Best of luck with it,
Richard.

Small icons, sleek style. Not big, bulky pixel icons and all sorts of components floating about everywhere.

Post us the user agent info xoxo Nothing personal can be derived from it, it's just info about your browser.

Why not just make a Persona for Firefox?

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0, just using the tacky vB skinning utility for IE

Yeh. Gives you the option to make a browser how you want it. Just thought I'd contribute something different to the community :)

[Jahova]

Well, you could have told us before. You got us excited but it turns out that anyone can do this. I've done it before and I'm sure most kiddies that have become interested in vB have too.

[AgnesIO]

A browser just for habbo.. Hmm, may I be the first to say, what's the point?

I don't open the internet just to get on habbo based stuff, why would I want to use a habbo only browser, when I can simply go on IE/MF/Safari/GC etc etc, and open numerous tabs?

Please insight me on the idea :)

[iDenning]

Its not just for habbo, its just got a habbo skin lol.

wait's for iApps to post..

[Fehm]

-.-'
Seriously, you just made a fool of yourself.

[iDenning]

-.-'

I don't see how?

OK GUYS NEW DEVELOPMENT:
A HABBO LAYOUT.

YAYAYYAYA

It's something different, if you don't like it then who cares.

[Tomm]

Well why not make a skin for something like firefox then?

Why not just nick my idea? :P

Na joke, but yeah make a persona or something because then you have Firefox and people wont need to install new new browser and have to look at habbo all the time..

[Fehm]

But people might want a habbo layout? They don't want a Habbo internet browser.. zzzZZZ

oh and welldone on editing your post btw. Have a cookie ^o)

I edited it before you posted as I saw you viewing thread :) Your too predictable. Thanks for the cookie

[Blinger1]

There used to be a program called "habbox" that browsed habbo sites ;)

p.s, I don't think it was related to this habbox
