The WebView2 control is Microsoft's entry in this space and they are throwing their weight behind the Edge Chromium browser with application level features for C++, WinForms and WPF applications.

So I was exited to hear that Microsoft was creating a WebView control in tandem with the new Edge Chromium browser that recently was released, even if these developments took a lot longer than originally anticipated. Third party Chromium based controls (like CefSharp) have been available for a while, but for me these complex controls have been a struggle to integrate and operate efficiently and reliably in the past especially in WPF. The Microsoft Edge WebView2 control is a new Chromium based Web Browser control that aims to replace the Internet Explorer based WebBrowser control that's commonly used in WPF and WinForms.
