Use Google Chrome / Chromium instead of WebKit on MacOS

I would like to use Google Chrome instead of WebKit Framework in one of my projects. I found the "chromiumembedded" project for Windows, but nothing like that for Mac. It would be best to have it in a Framework form, just to move it to an Xcode project.

Question: Is there an easy way to integrate Google Chromium Webkit into MacOS X's own projects?

There are xcode project files in Chromium code, and you will find that WebKit has its own xcodeproj files. Please note that Chromium WebKit is regularly merged with the WebKit website and goes back to its changes. Actually, I don’t understand why you want to solve the problem of extracting WebKit from the Chromium tree, and not getting it from the head of WebKit. However, you can grab the {$ chromium_trunk} / src / third_party / WebKit directory to get the version of Chromium WebKit. There are no dependencies on the Chromium browser code, so this will not be a problem.

What are you trying to get from this; rendering engine or browser? The ambiguity in your question leaves a lot of confusion in the interpretation.

If you look at the built-in browsers, you can check the Android WebKit browser. Android is also open source.

Did you know that Google Chrome already uses WebKit?

We owe a lot of debt to many open source projects, and we strive to continue their path. We used components from Apple WebKit and Mozilla Firefox, among others - and in this spirit we also create all our open source code. We hope to work with the entire community to help promote the site on the Internet.

Since they do not seem to have a working Mac version for the general public, I would suggest that this does not exist if you are not a Google employee.
