What would you guys think of a web browser that uses a rendering engine like WebKit, but also has support for some IE features, like Active Directory restrictions and the like?
I ask this as I am trying to build a browser like that, with the following features:
* Supports multiple rendering engines (WebKit, Gecko, Trident, etc)
* Supports Active Directory restrictions
* AddIn support
* Localization
* Runs on a flash drive (like SharpDevelop)
* Tabbed browsing (obviously)
* History and favorites
* Full screen mode
If you guys have any other suggestions, post them here.

Does it support active directory restrictions? I could not find anything about that there.

FIIK, I just thought I would share it with you, just in case you were trying to reinvent the wheel. Or maybe to give you ideas for features in your own app.

Mine is built with C#, but I will look at what you mentioned and see what there is.

Would it come pre-installed on a new system? ![Badger | [badger,badger,badger,badger...]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/badger.gif)
I really don't care about browsers, but that sounds like an interesting project, good luck.

Could I suggest you don't support trident?
I have no problem with Microsoft innovating. I have a huge problem with them single handedly being responsible for so much pain because of trident. Lets settle n a single engine and innovate around that. (And while you're at it ditch gecko. )

The one built in to the core library is WebKit, and the Trident and Gecko ones are external addins, and won't be installed by default (if I can ever get VS/WiX/etc. to cooperate with me and actually build.)
They also will likely not be implemented until after version 1.0.
The WebKit (Awesomium) version I am using is the latest beta/RC, so it is kinda buggy at times.
Some of the error 'messages' I encountered:
* 'Oops!'
* 'Internal Epic Fail Error' <--- likely my favorite.
* 'The Daily WTF needs THIS code.
X| X| X| * 404 Brain Not Found.
* [Nasty Words Removed] code!
And so on
Bah, dumb bugs.
