I personally felt it had a better ring to it than “OffscreenWebViewRenderer”

OffscreenWebViewRenderer, OffscreenWebViewRendererX and OffscreenWebViewRenderer.net are all trademarks of Microsoft so don’t even think about it ;)

I was wondering why there was a sudden spike in page views on my site– thanks for the mention and comments, guys!

About the name “Awesomium” (a compound of “Awesome” and “Chromium”), I agree that it is quite ostentatious but I personally felt it had a better ring to it than “OffscreenWebViewRenderer”. ;-)

Wow, that is cool, but ‘Awesomium’ is seriously one of the worst names I’ve ever heard — very hard to take seriously.

AWESOME.

Unfortunately, no other pages would load for me (Vista x64, 8800GTS 640mb), despite “Finished Loading” appearing on the console. However, the home page was the only one to print text/html etc. to the console.

brilliant! I can totally see this becoming the norm for non-obtrusive ad supported gaming… imagine playing WOW free because it is ad supported with custom banners in the auction houses.. i’d put up with a little “real world” for playing for free…

genius idea. gamers may hate adsense invading their territory, but it’s essentially a “gate” connecting the “real world” -> relative to the virtual realty in the game. very important and useful!

What can it be used for? Browsing the net inside video games so that you don’t need to even leave the video game.

My bad, should have launched it with the app.exe in the bin directory

useing f1 key to start demo doesn’t work, in firefox and safari it just brings up the help.
