Making a web browser is very very very very difficult. However luckily for you, you don't want to make what most people would call "making a web browser" which is making the rendering engine. It sounds like you are more interested in making a user interface for a browser which is much easier. Visual Basic even comes in with a built in internet explorer control that lets you use IE in your own applications.
However if you want something to play around with and have some fresh ideas, you might want to try writing an extension for Mozilla Firefox, a web browser that lets you write all kinds of plugins for it in javascript.
You should know javascript, if you don't already. If nothing else, you can't make a web browser without knowing how to get your browser to speak it ;)

Reply:I do not think Visual Basic 6 is a good idea, but it should not be too hard since it has all of the windows interfaces built in.
Reply:Sounds like Mozilla Firefox, but I don't know how to MAKE it. Sorry
