A full featured web-browser built using C# and CefSharp

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.

• 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
