> The reason for not whitelisting QtWebKit is a bit different here: that we don’t want to promise an API that we cannot promise to continue to support. While QtWebKit may continue to limp along for a few years yet, it has been removed from upstream webkit, and has no real active maintainers that I am aware of. The unfortunate reality is that we are not in a position where we can take on the sole maintenance of a web engine (which is a rather large and complex piece of software).<br>

<p dir="ltr">> We do offer SilicaWebView (in Silica) as a component that does not expose any engine/implementation details (meaning that we can change the implementation to use QtWebEngine, or Gecko, or whatever suits us / works best for the purpose). It should be good enough for simple cases. If you’re lacking something from it, please ask away :)<br>

I don't really find the current trend being an improvement... qtwebkit2 was a functional regression already, and qtwebengine, while still an unknown, seems to be even more restricted.</p>

Just double checking as I thought that it's API/ABI is to be very stable at the times when it's going to retire - <a href="http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/09/12/introducing-the-qt-webengine/">http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/09/12/introducing-the-qt-webengine/</a> (thanks to John Brooks for quickly locating the link).<br>
