Hi guys! I am creating a new, open source web browser called BrowseFreely, and I need some people to help out and improve it.

1. I'd like some more graphics, because it's pretty plain right now.
2. More features. Its got some of the basic features for now, but I need help adding more.

Your help is really appreciated. Here is the Google Code project: BrowseFreely - Google Code Project

Thanks

Nothing wrong with a minimalist approach! I'd love a simple browser that surfed the web and nothing more. Firefox gets bloated after long periods of time.

thanks, that was the look i was going for, but i just want it to have a few more basic features, get the bugs worked out and get more eye candy

Not to put a damper on your efforts, but why take on a web browser? You're up against steep competition.

lol, i'm not trying to compete. I'm just trying to make a simple open source web browser for the mac, that is easy to customize.

So do you need help as in programming or as in suggestions?

It's not that they can't make an easy and simple browser, it's that the security requirements to keep YOU safe are so hard to keep up with as new problems and issues arrive every day that the browsers tend to get pretty big and complicated.

Personally I like a nice refined secure browser which takes a long time to perfect.

I understand, but the engine in this browser is the exact webkit engine used in Safari, so this browser is theoretically as safe as Safari.
