Because the mouse click is sent to the web page shown in the control. Just like you normally click the web pages in your browser. The explanation above is not totally correct, but I think it's good enough

I don't know why would you like to trap the mouse click, but you could try to use GotFocus event
VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Private Sub WebBrowser1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.GotFocus
  2.   '
  3.   MessageBox.Show("Click", "Click", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
  4.  
  5. End Sub
It does have its limitations compared to "normal" Click event.

There's GeckoFX which I haven't used myself. But I guess it will handle mouse clicks like WebBrowser does.

You may have to do it a bit harder way with Windows API Reference or by using a global mouse hook.
