How to Mine/Extract/Pull Data From Your Web Browser Into Visual Basic 6

This browser class is used to check for browser version, functionality and name before your Visual Basic application calls a specific browser feature. Checking browser functionality is an important step that helps avoid logic errors in your VB code.
