I am a Computer Science, Engineering Student from CET. For my mini project in 2nd year i made a web browser in Java programming language. It basically consisted of 3 files -toolbar for different functionality , the web page retrieval part, and the main coordinating file. I also inlcuded and additional file to include database functionality which was as per syllabus even though a real web browser doesnt need a database. I used MySQL database and connected it to the browser using a fourth file for storing the history details of pages visited.
The main advantages of my web browser was
1. It was very small in size less than half an MB.
2. Its suitable for educational purposes and small systems with memory constraints for easy browsing.
3. No pop ups came and it was secure than all present browsers but it not capable of running flash and other rich web applications.
4. Platform independent.
5. Requires minimum resources to work
6. Multiple Tab s facility.
7. New windows.
8. Proxy and port setting facilities. etc.
I used NET BEANS IDE for coding. If anyone is interested in developing it further or using it as project material feel free to contact me at vipinsreekumar19@gmail.com and i will mail my entire work.
thank you.
Here are some screen shots.
