(Old) Neo Web Browser object
Quote from Talker on September 13, 2022, 7:23 pmI know there are better alternatives available, but out of curiosity.
Would the MSHTML (trident) based Web Browser object in Neo pose a threat (security leak) if I would use it only to display a local HTML file that does not contain any links and without any way for the user to enter any kind of URL?
If it would still pose a risk, how would that work exactly?

Quote from luishp on September 14, 2022, 6:58 pm@talker you can use it safely. Although Internet Explorer has disappeared the MSHTML component (Trident) is still present in any Windows version and supported by Microsoft. As far as I know there is not any final date for it. Many applications rely on this component, included some Windows utilities.

If you try to open some websites, you might get blocked or see error messages.
If you display a local file, it should work okay, but as for "if it would still pose a risk", it is good not to include vbs, asp or ActiveX in your HTML, just stick to JavaScript instead.
