Is Google Chrome embeddable?

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

Why do videos not play on Chrome?

Clear Cookies and Cache: Accumulated data in the form of cache and cookies tend to prevent videos from playing on Chrome. Get rid of these corrupted cookies, history, passwords, and any other browsing data, to free up space for new videos to load and play.

Why is Chrome so slow?

To fix Google Chrome when it's running slow, try clearing its cache or wiping the browser history. You can also try deleting unnecessary extensions or adding extensions that improve performance. If your Chrome browser is outdated, updating it can also help improve performance.

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
