Can someone tell me how to code a simple web browser for ruby?
My friend did it in visual basic, I figure it would be easier in ruby.

Especially since VB has a webbrowser control that just invokes IE. Not that you can call that a webbrowser.

Same as in Borland Delphi.
Making a webbrowser handwritten is something else than just dropping a controller/component on a form.
