I did this once back in 2003. It was text only rendered, with mouse support so you could click on the links instead of tabbing around like Links. I built it off of the IE object model (Internet Explorer Browser Extensions? Can’t recall). I think I just used the object model for connectivity settings. If you could get to the net using IE, my browser would work as well. I think I coded to HTML 1.1 specs, and had it working after 2 months (with a few minor rendering issues). It did not support scripting, CSS or really much of anything (although it could POST), but it was surprising how much of the web was accessible. And it was really fast. Not because of my skillz, but when you cut out the garbage, it’s amazing how fast a page will load. Anyway, I would not recommend this approach, but I would offer you encouragement. HTML parsing isn’t really that big of a deal, and you could get something very minimal (text rendering) working in short order. It would at least give you a feeling of what you are up against.
