In my Delphi times I had a few projects which used the original 
THtmlPort component (THtmlViewer), and this worked great. Later, I tried 
the Lazarus version in ccr, but it did not even compile, and it still 
does not today.  There is a newer version on BerndGabriel's gitbub 
(https://github.com/BerndGabriel/HtmlViewer), it contains a Lazarus 
package, but it does not compile either (I did not investigate how 
difficult it is to fix this). The old Delphi version ignored JavaScript, 
I don't know whether this has changed in Bernd Garbriel's version, but I 
don't think so.

Then I switched to the TurboPower Ipro HTMLPanel. It was very buggy 
then, I could improved it to some degree, but it still has lots of 
issues (look at our LHelp viewer). It has some css support, but I would 
not expect too much. Certainly no support of JavaScript. It is good for 
small pages, such as for some more interesting renderuing of the 
acknowledgements on the About page of an application.
