I started to port it but stopped since is not a priority to me and i still think that webkit is the best way to go. Unfortunatelly, at the time i looked (~six monthes ago) building and using webkit under win32 was not straightforward although possible with some work.

I tried GeckoSDK once, but I never got it to work. Compiling was not a problem, but it never worked correctly; The first call to initialize Gecko invariably crashed the application. You might be better off trying to fix PBear. I use it myself, and IMHO it should be easy to port.

[Lazarus] PBear and Gecko SDK components in Lazarus..
Hi all, From reading this thread... http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,6158.15.html It seems that Phil had done some work in getting PBear working with Lazarus. Does anyone know who Phil is, and if this is now available from SVN? I am interested in both PBear and GeckoSDK working with Lazarus apps, particularly on Windows and Mac OS X. Currently I have an application which uses PBear with Delphi on Windows and it works really well. Having it work on Mac OS X with Lazarus/FreePascal would be the easiest porting route, but I'm willing to consider GeckoSDK as an alternative just to ensure cross-platform browser support. My other requirement is that I need to be able to make use of .xpi plugins in my own application, possibly without Gecko. I would be willing to help out on trying to track down and fixing the PBear issues, Phil mentions and then the Gecko stuff if we can't get PBear to work.
