Is anyone familiar with embeddability of Chromium-based Edge? MS web engines have been able to be used in shared libraries in the past and I'm hoping a win32/xaml control will be available for use. Even better if they contrib'd back the ability to leverage chrome DLLs.

I believe this is what you're referring to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/hosting/webv...

Exactly, thanks! I have been using CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) for a while now, but as my needs for cross-platform dwindle (and I highly doubt Edge Chromium has any non-Windows plans), I might consider using this instead.

From the first paragraph:

> On January 15th, we expect to release the “Stable” channel, at which point Microsoft Edge will be generally available to download on Windows and macOS.

I work with the Chromium-based Edge, and yes, we have a new embeddable control that will work in native apps: WebView2 [0]

We currently don't have a .NET wrapper for it yet, but plan to in the coming year.
