I know that there is a WebBrowser component which is basically Internet Explorer but I’m highly dissatisfied with the amount of features it has + Internet Explorer’s layout engine is terrible.

Is there a better alternative to that? Something like a “Gecko” or a “Webkit” browser? I tried “Skybound Gecko” but I’m sure there are some better implementations. It would also help if it would be lightweight (for redistribution) and wouldn’t rely on user’s computer configuration (such as ‘is firefox installed’)

    Please read Embedding Gecko(Mozilla rendering engine) in a .Net application:

    Over the weekend I had some spare
    time, so I thought I wonder if you
    can use the Mozilla rendering
    engine(Gecko) within a .Net
    application as easily as you can IE ?
    This could be important in areas where
    people have concerns about using IE.
    It turns out it is as simple as a
    download, add COM component to the
    toolbar and if required adding a
    reference to the project. Even the
    intereface has been modelled on the IE
    model to make it simple to use. It is
    of cause unmanaged code but it works.

    And also WebKit .NET:

    WebKit .NET is a control library
    wrapper for WebKit written in C#. The
    aim is to make it easy for users to
    incorporate WebKit into their .NET
    applications.
