Well the reason chromium is in my line of sight, is because other people do the work to maintain the browser for you. Creating your own web browser component is massive amounts of work, whereas chromium is coded by other people. True you have to write wrappers around it, but you also end up with a standard component where there are already plenty of c++ examples to learn from, and you are supported by a massive team over at chromium. Whereas writing your own browser component requires constantly playing "catch up", implementing every feature needed which chromium had 5 years ago. So does IPro or THtml have any large following and existing codebase to work with? I would have to learn about these as I have not used them. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
