Explanation

Include Qt Headers:
- #include <QApplication>: Manages application-wide resources and settings.
- #include <QMainWindow>: Provides a main application window.
- #include <QWebEngineView>: Displays web content. (Requires Qt WebEngine module)
- #include <QLineEdit>: Provides a text input field.
- #include <QVBoxLayout>: Layout manager for arranging widgets vertically.
- #include <QPushButton>: Provides a clickable button.
Browser Class:
- Inherits from QMainWindow: Allows creation of a main application window.
- Widgets:
  - QLineEdit *urlField: Input field for URL entry.
  - QWebEngineView *webView: Displays web content.
  - QPushButton *goButton: Button to load the URL.
- Constructor:
  - Initializes and sets up the main window layout.
  - Adds the urlField, goButton, and webView to the layout.
  - Connects the goButton click signal to the loadUrl slot.
- loadUrl():
  - Retrieves the URL from urlField.
  - Prepends “http://” if the URL does not start with “http://” or “https://”.
  - Loads the URL into webView.
Main Function:
- Initializes a QApplication instance.
- Creates and shows an instance of the Browser
  
  Advertisement
  
  class.
- Enters the Qt event loop using app.exec().
  
  Notes:
  - Qt Installation: Ensure you have Qt and Qt WebEngine installed.
  - Web Engine Module: The QWebEngineView requires the Qt WebEngine module, which may need to be installed separately.
