miniblink is an open-source, single-file, extremely small browser widget based on the Chromium Blink kernel, exposed through a pure C interface so a few lines of code can embed a browser in an application. It is designed as a lightweight replacement for wke and libcef, with an embedded Node.js runtime that can even run Electron apps.
Use cases
- embed a browser widget in a native desktop app
- build HTML-based UI for a C++ application
- replace libcef with a much smaller browser kernel
- run headless browser for web scraping
- create a lightweight Electron-like runtime
- intercept and replace network resources with local files
- render web pages with cross-domain restrictions disabled
When to choose
- you need a tiny, single-file Chromium-based browser control in a Windows app
- you want to build app UI in HTML/JS with minimal binary size
- you need headless browsing for crawlers with low resource usage
- you want Electron-like functionality in a ~6MB package
When to avoid
- you need the latest Chromium features and security patches (this repo tracks the old 49 kernel)
- you target Linux/macOS primarily (the 108 kernel lives in the separate openeuler/liteview project)
- you need a fully supported, multi-platform webview with commercial support
- you require guaranteed reproducible builds from source
