Can I create a webbrowser in a thread?

You probably mean, in a worker thread other than the main thread. Yes
you can, as long as this thread enters STA (see CoInitialize) and pumps
window messages (see GetMessage, DispatchMessage).

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
