I’ve had a look around and found Gtk::HtmlView, Gtk::HtmlEmbedded and  
Gtk::MozEmbed but they all seem to be rather old.

Does anyone know of an up-to-date widget that would work with Ruby 1.9  
and the latest gtk2 bindings?

Thanks,  
Phil

Those choices you listed never really existed. If you look at all the  
methods, they mostly say: “returns self, FIXME” so they were never  
functional, I think.

The MozEmbed looks like it will work, but its far from being a full  
featured browser.

You could run a shell command like this:

‘firefox [http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)’
