Delphi Chromium enbedded alternative on Firemonkey OSX, Windows and Linux

I need a fast and reliable HTML5 Browser component. For my needs TWebBrowser is too slow. I came across Chromium embedded but the components I found (DCEF3, DCEF4) are relying on Windows units. Also, there are no libraries for OSX32 as chromium is only available on 64 Bit for Mac.

Is there an alternative approach for native HTML5 for FMX on Windows, Linux and OSX?

Background: I use Delphi, FMX and FMXLinux to create a cross platform application on Windows, OSX and Linux and would like to embed and deploy Chromium together with TMS Webcore to offer a fat client and web access simultaneously without having to develop complicated forms twice (FMX and Web).

There is a version of DCEF maded by Salvador DF that can be compiled in Firemonkey at: https://github.com/salvadordf/CEF4Delphi. It is a library for Delphi that i have tested on Windows 32&64Bit with good results.

I need to try it on fmxLinux using the binaries that you can find at: http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html But i think there is some work to do.
