In other words -- What is the smallest, most compact (fewest DLL, preferably single-DLL), cache-less, local-only, lightest weight, Chrome/WebKit/Blink-based embeddable HTML control for C#?
My project requires a WebKit/Chromium/Blink compatible engine in an embedded window (local resources only, no Internet access, no cache folder, thumbdrive friendly, offline computer friendly, kiosk friendly, no automatic update notifications, downloads disabled).
A huge deal of embeddable HTML controls already exist, such as CefSharp (Chromium Embedded Framework CEF), Awesomium, Chrome Frame, WebKit .NET Wrapper, etc. I have tried to install a few, and they work, but I need a framework intentionally designed for compactness.
Which ones support single-library-file (DLL) operation with minimal modification? Even statically link into a single executable file? Most of them install a huge mess of DLL and supplementary files and subfolders (cache, etc) and are WAY too heavyweight for my specific needs.
I have an existing designed-for-offline web project (fully Chrome tested and trusted) that I need to miniaturize into a compact, few-files offline readonly installation. Initially, I have spent time (days) de-clutter a heavyweight CefSharp installation which refuses to statically link, and I can continue doing so. However, I'd appreciate collective insight on lightweight embedded WebKit/Chromium/Blink options. This is for Windows now, but I need to keep the door open to porting to Linux/Mac (Mono C#) so that's why I'm avoiding OS-specific engines (Safari/IE).
