How to embed a browser object, other than IE<n>, in a Delphi application
browser, delphi, embedded-control, gecko, webkit
Solution
TWebBrowser is IE. It is not a plugable construction for browsers. You can have other browsers integrated in your application. See

Time has moved on
This answer is from '08 and since then time has moved on. The links don't work anymore and there are probably better alternatives now.
Problem
Using the default TWebBrowser makes things easy to embed a web browser. Unfortunately the one that comes in by default is IE<n>. I'm wondering how does one integrate a Gecko or WebKit one. - Are there VCL examples somewhere? - If not, how would one go about doing it? - Where's the best place to find the core for Gecko and/or WebKit in an embeddable format?
