OpenWebKitSharp gives you full control over WebKit Nightly, which is very close to webkit in terms of performance and compatibility. Chrome uses WebKit Chromium engine, while WebKit.NET uses Cairo and OpenWebKitSharp Nightly. Chromium should be the best of these builds, while at 2nd place should come Nightly and that's why I suggest OpenWebKitSharp.

I don t know of any full Chrome component  but you could use WebKit  which is the rendering engine that Chrome uses   The Mono project made WebKit Sharp  which might work for you

Update 2016   Unfortunately most of the above solutions are out of date and no longer maintained    There are 3 additional options I can suggest that are still actively developed   1  BrowseEmAll Cef  A  Net component that can be used to integrate the Chrome engine into your  Net Application  Based on CefGlue but a little faster on updates to the latest Chrome version  Also there is a commercial support option available which might come in handy for some  Of course the component itself is open source    2  BrowseEmAll Gecko  Another  Net component which can be used to integrate the Firefox engine into your  Net application  This is based on Geckofx but unlike the current version of Geckofx this will work with a normal release build of Firefox  To use Geckofx you will need to build Firefox yourself  Again commercial support is available but the component itself is fully open source    3  BrowseEmAll Core API  Need all the different browsers in your  Net Application  Which the BrowseEmAll Core API you can integrate Chrome  Firefox  Webkit and Internet Explorer into your application  This is a commercial product though so be warned    Full disclosure  I work for this company so take everything I say with a grain of salt

Update for 2014   I use geckofx  a healthy open source project that  as of this writing  keeps up to date pretty well with the latest Firefox releases   To embed Chrome  you might consider another healthy looking open source project  Xilium cefGlue  based on  The Chromium Embedded Framework  CEF    Both of these support WPF and Winforms  and both projects have support for  net and mono
