Learn http protocol is the first step in downloading the web pages/images for your browser.

The most complicated part is parsing the web page html/css/javascript as well as doing proper layout and spacing of all that information.

W3C has all the specifications on how to do the parsing and how it "should" all work.

Really tho, its a very big undertaking. Possibly a text only browser might be a reasonable possibility.

Would it make it easier if I used a WYSIWYG program? Like Visual studio?

You don't have to write everything from scratch.

You can incorporate other pieces of code to do things. For example, you could make a browser that uses the Gecko renderer from the Mozilla Suite and Firefox, and just write the gui and the network code.

Writing it all from scratch, if you have the know-how, would be an interesting experience, but it would be exceedingly difficult.

The easy way is to do C#/VB by making Web Browser Component as a template and you can add your parsing information to it.
