We use Chromium Embedded Framework.

By using Chromium Embedded Framework in the OnlyOffice desktop application, we provide integration of an embedded browser for the editor’s functionality.  
This approach allows us to offer users the ability to use an editor based on [web technologies](https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer) within the desktop application.
