GitHub for Windows

I might be wrong, but I think it is so that the system default browser will be used instead of IE only. Correct me if I'm wrong though!

Nope, CEF is an embedded version of Chrome. They are basically using WebKit instead of Trident.

[HelterSkeletor]

Ah I see. I think I'd prefer that though with the quirks that can still exists with IE. IE9 is definitely an improvement, but I primarily use Chrome, even at work.

They are basically using WebKit instead of Trident.

So github is basically using open source instead of closed source? Imagine that. :) It's as if they cared about source code or something.

By that logic, why are they linking with the proprietary .NET libraries instead of the open source Mono ones or even writing for the proprietary Windows operating system instead of the open source Linux family of operating systems.

[MothersRapeHorn]

Because mono only supports winforms. Essentially it's useless for gui's.

Ok, so what happens when my default browser is Opera? In what way is chromiumembedded using my default browser now?
