How to embed a browser control in Visual Basic 6?

I would like to embed a web browser control in a Visual Basic 6 application.

The only problem is that I would NOT want to use Internet Explorer, as it has several problems and what I am currently using.

If possible, Firefox, Chrome or even Opera will be appreciated.

I think WebKit might be what you need.

WebKit is an open source web browser engine.

Guidance on integrating WebKit with VB available here: http://vb.wikia.com/wiki/Embedding_WebKit.

WebKit used by Google Chrome and Apple Safari . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit

From WebBrowser Control for Visual Basic 6.0 Users :

The Visual Basic 6.0 WebBrowser control, also known as Microsoft Internet Controls or Shdocvw.dll, is an ActiveX control that allows you to host Internet Explorer in your application.

Since the WebBrowser control is a Microsoft ActiveX control, I assume that Internet Explorer is the only option, as it is also a Microsoft product.

WebkitX works well, but is commercial, so it will cost licensing (but try for free):
