A simple tabbed browser coded in Vb.Net
You can Hold Alt to move the buttons around on the main interface. To reset, simply restart BasicBrowser.

You should be able to search from the URL bar out of the box. If some queries turn into URLs (e.g. http://test+search/) instead of your search engines search, use a question mark ? before the query (e.g. ?test search).
If this still doesn't work, make sure the Search in the address bar and the search box on the new tab page checkbox in the window described below is checked.
Click the menu bar Tools, then under Internet Properties... select Manage add-ons..., then click the Manage add-ons button.
In the window that pops up, click the Search Providers tab on the left. Here you can select a search provider, then:
- Set it as default
- Remove it
- Enable/disable search suggestions for it (not available in BasicBrowser yet)
- Right-click to move up or down in the listing order
When you are done, click Close at the bottom then OK.
As of November 2014, the Gecko branch can be found at Walkman-Mirror/BasicBrowserGecko. The hybrid branch is also there, since it is essentially BasicBrowserGecko with the ability to open IE tabs as well.
