How to: create your own web browser!

On the market there are 5 major browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari, with their advantages and disadvantages. My personal opinion is that Firefox provides the best platform for both development (webdesign) and displaying web pages).  Now comes the question: why do I want a custom web browser? From my work experience I’ve learned that having a custom browser would have an advantage, providing extra features and tools specific to that website. Here’s some advantages:

1) Store the site locally (including database content and synchronize it whenever needed)

2) Have custom elements overlayed by air.

3) Provided better security on data (credentials) transfer.

4) Peer to Peer page sharing :) P2P-Web(tm)
