Hello,

Yes, currently Chromium seems to be better, but anyway it will need a 
lot of work starting from the CEF as if my brain serves me CEF API is 
C++ so you will find the same problem as Qt interface, a very big DLL/so 
to convert C++ to plain C functions that will need a quite good maintain.

As far as I know it is quite stable now.

No for sure, that will not happen :) unless you use some dirty tricks. 
In the past I was able to "inject" 3 or 4 DLLs in my EXE and use them, 
but only in 32 bits Windows and I was unable to port the code to the 64 
bits windows loader (it basically performs the same actions Windows do 
when load a DLL from disk, but the function loads it from a resource and 
adjust the call pointers and other things as Windows will do it).

Of course that method will not with all DLLs.
