I am a starting to program and I would really like to make a web browser. I have the basics completed, like back,forward,refresh, and all that, but what I want now, is tabs, downloads, new windows, preferences, history and bookmarks, can someone PLEASE tell me how to do this, I have searched all over the place and I can only find outdated things. PLEASE HELP ME! :eek:

Look at sources of these. Perhaps you'll get an understanding of how huge this question is.

BTW You might also want to track this thread (if it goes anywhere), where someone else has asked basically the same question.
Yes but I have seen people make advanced browsers before in visual basic and I can imagine people can do it in xcode with the webkit framework in it's core. I know it will be tough and take a while but I still would like to do it. Do you know of any websites that aren't outdated that have a tutorial of some sort on this? Thank You for the answer by the way.
