Embed Chromium-based browsers in Delphi or Lazarus/FPC applications for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
CEF4Delphi is an open-source project that enables developers to embed Chromium-based browsers within applications built using Delphi or Lazarus/FPC. It provides a powerful way to integrate modern web capabilities into native desktop applications across Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.
Delphi and Lazarus/FPC developers who need to embed a modern web browser component in their desktop applications for Windows, Linux, or macOS.
Developers choose CEF4Delphi for its reliable, well-tested embedding of the latest Chromium engine, extensive cross-platform support, and compatibility with a wide range of Delphi and Lazarus versions and frameworks (VCL, FMX, Lazarus).
CEF4Delphi is an open source project to embed Chromium-based browsers in applications made with Delphi or Lazarus/FPC for Windows, Linux and MacOS.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports Windows, Linux (x86 and ARM), and macOS with a single codebase, as shown by the provided CEF binary downloads for all these platforms.
Tested with Delphi 6 through 13.1 and Lazarus 4.6/FPC 3.2.2, making it viable for both modern and legacy Pascal projects.
Uses CEF 146.0.10 with Chromium 146.0.7680.179, ensuring up-to-date web standards and performance, as highlighted in the README.
Includes tested examples for Windows 10/11, Linux Mint, and Raspberry Pi OS, helping developers validate deployment across diverse environments.
Embedding Chromium significantly increases executable size and memory usage, which can be prohibitive for lightweight or resource-constrained applications.
Developers must download and update CEF binaries separately from Spotify links, adding setup complexity and potential versioning headaches.
Default builds require Windows 10 or newer; supporting older versions like XP, Vista, or 7/8 necessitates using specific releases or forks, as noted in the README.
