Chrome runtime vs. Alloy Runtime

Postby Phylanx » Mon Nov 22, 2021 7:55 am

Hi!

I'm currently analyzing the tasks that have to be done for us to upgrade our integrated JCEF version from 4147 (Chrome 84) to the newest version.
One thing that changed is that now the Chrome Runtime should be available (starting with CEF version 90).

May I ask what is the difference?
Is it mandatory to use the chrome runtime now or is it ok to continue with the Alloy runtime?

If we change to the chrome runtime, what do we have to change in the code?

Maybe there is some type of documentation that I couldn't find?

Thx so far,
Phylanx

Chrome runtime cannot be used with JCEF at this time because it does not support arbitrary native parent windows.

OK, thank you for the information.
As I see it, we have nothing to do regarding the chrome runtime right now.

Are there any plans to do enable the usage of the chrome runtime in jcef?
