Is Google Chrome embeddable?

Question

I've asked myself if one can embed the google chrome browser engine in an own application. I'm using Delphi 2009. There's an IE ActiveX wrapper component delivered with the IDE. Also, there's a Firefox ActiveX component out there, but it's based on very old code.

I'd like to embed the chrome engine. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

David

Answer 1

Google Chrome is basically WebKit layout engine + nice UI. And WebKit can be embedded.

There's also chromium embedded framework (CEF).

And finally, check out Awesomium.

Update 2: A very good fit for this would be the new Electron Shell

Update: As a commenter points out under this answer, this is no longer supported. For good reasons I guess.

Recently Google released the Chrome Frame active X for MS IE see if that helps

I've just release a pre-alpha version of CefSharp my .Net bindings for the Chromium Embedded Framework.
