A simple web browser that will allow me to search through pages on the internet

• Search bar where you can search through the exact URL
• Load button which loads the URL from the address bar (changed to a right arrow now)
• Progress bar which shows the progress regarding the loading of the page
• The search will be carried out if the user presses enter
• When the URL has finished loading, reset the progress bar back to null

Desired Features

• Assign a preferred minimum width and height which will be the default when the program runs
• Give a list of useful options when the user right clicks (context menu) ‘javafx WebView right click’
• Allow downloads through the browser
• View PDFs in the browser (Currently when trying, the worker state is = ‘cancelled’)
• Allow video playback through the browser
• Allow interaction with buttons etc. on web pages (example, where it doesn’t work is logging in with Netflix
• Keyboard shortcuts that link to different features
• When the browser opens, make it go full screen
• The user does not have to type in the exact URL, (http:// is automatically generated, check against possible different domain suffixes)
