Hi, I've been working on my web browser project for quite some time now and I'd like to show my results to you. It's still in an early stage, but it's almost usable. Unfortunately, it doesn't save history or favorites, but I'm working on it. I finally got new window function working so I thought it's a good time to show my results. In this attachment you'll find everything you need to lauch it, just extract it anywhere. I made it with .NET, but I'm not sure which version you must have to be able to use it. Anyone got a clue how to check it?
P.S.: Don't over rate it. And opinions please. How could I improve it? Bugs? Anything else you'd like to say?

That's pretty impressive work there. However, I did find a few bugs. I clicked on forward and back and got unhanded exception errors, and the history came preloaded with about 10-20 of your predefined start page. Very nice work overall, its a good beginning. I assume you wanted it rated as a program in development so I say at its current state its a 7/10. That is because there are errors in the release, not because of a lack of features. Aside from that, good job!!
Another thing I noticed was that the history runs backwards from most web browsers with the last visited at the bottom.
By the way, what language are you using to program this in?

Oh hell..I forgot to change the home page...And as I said before I'm currently working on history thing. And strangely I don't get that error when entering that site. Oh, and I'm a really bad artist, so if anyone could, please draw those forward, stop and back buttons

The error occurs when you press on forward or back and there is no site to go to. the buttons should be disabled in this case.
Just use a free icon set for the buttons, there are some nice ones out there like the crystal project or the tango theme.

The error message I posted in the picture was from pressing forward or backward buttons. It loads without errors.

I used it to come and vote on your browser. I like it so far and have given it a seven. I'll cruise arouns awhile and see if I can come up with further input. Great job!!
