    <p>I need a web browser inside my .NET 3.5 application and I don't want to use the default webbrowser (because it feels buggy and slow). I tried Chris Cavanagh's chromium but I just couldn't get it to work... are there any easier to use alternatives? I'm looking for something very simple and light on the computer, it will host a webstore front if that matters.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> 5 years later, the need arose again. Back then I used <a href="http://www.awesomium.com/" rel="noreferrer">Awesomium</a> to show the web browser in my program, tbh, I don't remember how it went but I also don't recall it being a real pain. </p> <p>Today though, I wanted to use it again and I see the code had been closed and it is now commercial. We tried, hit a hurdle, couldn't change the code to work the way we wanted so we went the open source route with <a href="https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef" rel="noreferrer">CEF</a> and <a href="https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp" rel="noreferrer">CefSharp</a>, being able to see the code made the work so much easier and less voodoo (ffs, awesomium even obfuscate their code so I couldn't understand what I'm doing wrong).</p> <p>Basically Awesomium is cool if you want to pay 2900$ and don't need off screen rendering but CEF is so much more powerful being able to change the code to suit your needs.</p> <p>PS. We gave CefGlue a 5 minute try, it didn't work immediately so we moved to CefSharp which immediately worked, this is the great and terrible thing about two competing open source frameworks.</p>
