As I understood from your question, you are only trying to parse the HTML data, and you don't need to show the actual web page. If that is the case than you can take a very simple approach and use HttpWebRequest:

    var _plainText = string.Empty;
    var _request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com");
    _request.Timeout = 5000;
    _request.Method = "GET";
    _request.ContentType = "text/plain";
    using (var _webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)_request.GetResponse())
    {
        var _webResponseStatus = _webResponse.StatusCode;
        var _stream = _webResponse.GetResponseStream();
        using (var _streamReader = new StreamReader(_stream))
        {
            _plainText = _streamReader.ReadToEnd();
        }
    }

You can use the Html Agility Pack library to parse any HTML formatted data.

HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(wbMain.DocumentText);

var nodes = doc.SelectNodes("//a[@href"]);

NOTE: The method SelectNode accepts XPath, not CSS or jQuery selectors.

var node = doc.SelectNodes("id('my_element_id')");

Try this:

dynamic doc = wbMain.Document;
var htmlText = doc.documentElement.InnerHtml;
