- the previously mentioned CefSharp is probably the most promising, given the trends in the browser market
- there is GeckoFx . There are samples for forms. I thought the barrier to entry was lower. But (see above) trends however. And the main thing is too rarely updated. Fox itself may have time to make radical changes to the engine while the project releases an update. I'm interested in the fact that I have accumulated a decent experience in transferring fox profiles with only 7 or 8 files
- for practice, WebBrowser / WebView (Forms / WPF) will do just fine for beginners. But out of the box. But this is IE, alas. There is also a WebView in UWP - this is Edge, but there you have to gnaw XAML, and everything is even a little trickier than just in WPF. But by and large, there is a lot of information, and in the store of a pack of demo applications
ps in the bookmarks for a long time there is alsoChromiumFX has nothing to say about the advantages and disadvantages. but judging by the update dates, the project is relatively active, and not that marginal
