SharpBrowser is the fastest open source C# web browser there is! Slightly faster than Google Chrome when rendering web pages due to lightweight CEF renderer. We compared every available .NET browsing browsing engine and finally settled on the high-performance CefSharp. Released under the permissive MIT license.

System requirements

• You need VC++ 2015 Runtime 32-bit and 64-bit versions

• You need .NET Framework 4.6.

• You need to install the version of VC++ Runtime that CEFSharp needs. Since we are using CefSharp 79, according to this we need the above versions

Code

• SharpBrowser uses CefSharp 79 and is built on NET Framework 4.6
• SharpBrowser supports AnyCPU as well as x86/x64 specific builds
• MainForm.cs - main web browser UI and related functionality
• Handlers - various handlers that we have registered with CefSharp that enable deeper integration between us and CefSharp
• Data/JSON.cs - fast JSON serializer/deserializer
• bin - Binaries are included in the bin folder due to the complex CefSharp setup required. Don't empty this folder.
• bin/storage - HTML and JS required for downloads manager and custom error pages
