Hello

I am working on a project that contain web browsing feature (open a
web page inside it and do a web search)

So what is the best and clean (and cross-platform) component to use
  fpCEF (https://github.com/dliw/fpCEF3 - last commit in May 24, 2018)
  CEF4Delphi (https://github.com/salvadordf/CEF4Delphi - tested on
Lazarus 2.0.2 and last commit May 11, 2019)
  LazWebKit
  or is there an other unknown component

-------- And almost I forget
I need a component with WindowsXP compatibility available

Thnx forward

(https://github.com/salvadordf/CEF4Delphi - tested on Lazarus 2.0.2
and last commit May 11, 2019)It was the only one that worked for me
without any installation issues. It doesn't mean that it is better
then the others - I am just saying that it worked for me. My use case
was pretty basic so I can not say much about advanced usage either. It
is a shame that there are only a few Lazarus examples. However, more
then half of Delphi examples can be converted. I did that and one of
these days I will donate those converted projects back to the author.

with WindowsXP compatibility availableYou will need older Chromium
engine compatible with Windows XP:
https://github.com/salvadordf/OldCEF4Delphi. Unfortunately it doesn't
have Lazarus package. You will have to adapt it.

If you need WindowsXP then you need to use a CEF wrapper that includes
CEF3.2623 or older.
If you need to a cross-platform component then you can only use fpCEF
because CEF4Delphi only supports Windows at this moment.

I've never used LazWebKit and I don't know if it supports all you
need.
