Watching this as I'm recompiling dev-qt/qtwebengine for the 3rd time
How about webkit-gtk
Is that chromium too by any chance?
It's Chromium's non-Google cousin.
If that piques your interest, be aware that it's mostly Apple's baby.
And to swing back positive again, it's open-source because Apple didn't create it in the first place and they're bound by GPL to keep it that way.
Finally, a useful fun fact: WebKit GTK often comes with a
MiniBrowserprogram that is a bare-bones web browser wrapped around the engine.It isn't symlinked in
/usr/binor anywhere like that, but it does work as an emergency secondary browser if something breaks your main one.It's usually found somewhere like
/usr/lib/{OS type}/webkitgtk-{version}/MiniBrowserOn my machine it's
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.1/MiniBrowserOh right, webkit (I seem to be bad at understanding the words I'm reading). I love that most modern web engines are just forks of KHTML
I've never emerged chromium, proud waterfox user :)
