The ThreeTeeth Browser
A simple web browser for Windows based on the Microsoft Trident engine.
ThreeTeeth was originally released on zetacentauri.com as the Zeta MiniBrowser, later renamed to The ThreeTeeth Browser and hosted on threeteeth.com. It was downloaded more than 15,000 times before being open-sourced.
No effort has been made to make this browser secure.
A prebuilt Windows installer is available in the Installer directory:
https://github.com/Xangis/ThreeTeeth/blob/master/Installer/ThreeTeeth1.31Setup.exe
ThreeTeeth requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or Newer and runs on Windows XP or newer.
If you would like a more modern browser, try WbBrowse, also by me.
Usage
Here are what the buttons do:
The left arrow lets you navigate to the previous web page in your history, if any. If there is not a previous web page it will be grayed out.
The right arrow lets you navigate to the next web page in your history, if any. If there is not a next web page it will be grayed out.
The stop sign lets you stop the current page load, if any. If there is nothing loading it will be grayed out.
The circular arrows let you refresh the currently loaded web page.
The home icon lets you return to the ThreeTeeth search page.
The folder icon lets you open an HTML file stored on your computer.
The print button lets you send a web page to the printer.
The angle brackets let you view the source HTML for the current web page.
The question mark icon lets you view the about box for the ThreeTeeth web browser.
The bookmark button lets you add a page to the list of bookmarks stored by ThreeTeeth.
The URL bar shows you the currently loaded web page's URL. You can type a web address into the URL bar to navigate to a new web page. After you've entered the URL, press enter or click on the arrow to the right of the URL bar to navigate to the page.
Bookmarking and Loading Bookmarks
When you click the bookmark button, you will be shown the URL and the name of the page. You can edit the page name and URL if you want to have a more descriptive URL title or want to go to a different part of the website. Clicking "OK" adds the bookmark to the bookmark list, while clicking "Cancel" aborts the operation.
To navigate to a bookmark, click the drop down list next to the bookmark button and select an item from the list. The browser will load the web page for that bookmark.

Development Status
I stopped developing this software back in 2015. It probably does not behave like a modern web browser. I may or may not decide to update and/or maintain it, but for now it should be considered "abandonware". The original domain it was hosted on has long since expired and is now owned by a squatter, so the "search" page is worthless.
