Hello

This is for the "Title" from the website

Code:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_Navigating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.Navigating
        Me.Text = WebBrowser1.DocumentTitle
    End Sub

This is for the "Url" from the navigated website

Code:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_Navigating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.Navigating
        Me.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.AbsoluteUri

    End Sub

but if you want to "Text" from the website and i assume that you mean text only i will have to work on that one a little

If u mean what i am thinking of, u can do this trick.
Code:
WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerText

That will return a string of all text visible in webbrowser control.

If you want all HTML text, then use this
Code:
WebBrowser1.DocumentText

I think for this you will have to access the browsers history, and rescan is every minute or so. All browser's history is stored in a file on the computer itself. For example, here is Firefox :
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071011162335AAACp1v">http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... 335AAACp1v</a><!-- m -->
