CefSharp lets you embed Chromium in .NET apps. It is a lightweight .NET wrapper around the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) by Marshall A. Greenblatt. About 30% of the bindings are written in C++/CLI with the majority of code here is C#. It can be used from C# or VB, or any other CLR language. CefSharp provides both WPF and WinForms web browser control implementations.
CefSharp is BSD licensed, so it can be used in both proprietary and free/open source applications. For the full details, see the LICENSE file.
Stable binaries are released on NuGet, and contain everything you need to embed Chromium in your .Net/CLR application. For usage see the Quick Start guide or FAQ #8.
- See the CefSharp.Wpf.Example or CefSharp.WinForms.Example projects for example web browsers built with CefSharp. They demo most of the available features.
- See the CefSharp.MinimalExample project for a basic demo of using the CefSharp NuGet packages.
- See the Wiki for work-in-progress documentation
- See the FAQ for help with common issues
- Upgrading from an earlier version of CefSharp? See the ChangeLog for breaking changes and upgrade tips.

The CefSharp Google Group is no longer very active. It is however a useful resource for archived questions/answers.
This is the official CefSharp fork, as maintained by the CefSharp community. You can also view the entire network of public forks/branches.
Development is done in the master branch. New features are preferably added in feature branches, if the changes are more than trivial. New PR's should be targeted against master.
When a new release is imminent a release branch is created. We try to avoid making public facing API changes in release branches (Adding new features is fine, just not breaking changes).
