title: Create your own custom browser
body: <p>I want to shape my own browser or at least modify a existing one so far that it meets my needs.</p>
  
  <p>I want a fast browser (starting and running, not necessarily faster rendering) without any stuff I don't use and simple productive navigation (like Firefox + Vimperator + Tree Style Tab), only much more integrated into each other and a different GUI.</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking about just looking into the current two top browsers chrome and firefox (open-source wise) and branch my own smaller version out of it.</p>
  
  <p>By just using WebKit or Gecko I will have to implement all the Connection-stuff, too, but I really am not interested in doing that.</p>
  
  <p>So my questions are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Does it make sense to start off with a current browser and strip off certain features and the frontend and replace it with my own code?</p></li>
  <li><p>Chrome or Firefox?  Which one is less complex?  I don't care much about Plugins and Extensions, so they aren't they pretty much even in features otherwise?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks for your answers</p>
  
  <p>p.s.:  It's a just-for-fun at-home project, so please no "just use the browsers..."-stuff...</p>
