Writing a completely custom browser is not a difficult task these days - provided you can make use of the WebBrowser control that is available starting with Microsoft® Internet Explorer 3.0.
The browser helper objects (BHO) introduced with Internet Explorer 4.0 present an opportunity to add even more complex functionality to the original browser.
There is just one aspect missing from all these pre-Internet Explorer 5.0 programming goodies: you couldn't associate new functionality with the browser's user interface.
Thankfully this problem has been addressed starting with release 5 of Internet Explorer.
