I had no idea that existed, that's pretty cool!

Comment #42375775
I might experiment with it if they improve their embedding story, and if someone (not me) makes it work with Python and Qt. Sadly, https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/27579 has b…

Comment #42374564
Huh‽ While running with QtWebKit still happens to work, qutebrowser has supported QtWebEngine (based on Chromium) since 2016 or so, and it's been the default since v1.0.0 in 2017. …

Comment #42365074
RTL support should be as good as Chromium's for web contents (as QtWebEngine is based on Chromium), and as good as Qt's for the UI. Admittedly I never tested, but if you notice som…

Note that on Linux, the browser engine (QtWebEngine) is installed/updated separately from qutebrowser. They have a new feature release (updating to a new Chromium baseline) every 6…

Comment #42365014
Ah, I see. That's not due to the Chromium version though, it's because the Chromium that comes with Qt releases (which is what's shipped in qutebrowser releases) is built without p…

FWIW there are Windows/macOS builds too.

The devtools let you do that FWIW.

See https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/8389 - unfortunately there's a lot of stupid false-positives especially with PyInstaller (packaging a Python application into …

Nyxt[1] caters to emacs people (being extensible in Lisp and all that), but personally I'm somewhat wary of it: They handled a critical security vulnerability[2] quite badly a few …

DRM should work just fine via Widevine if you have a Qt build with proprietary codec support, and you have an appropriate version of Widevine available. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/…

The majority of security issues in browsers is in the more low-level components (rendering engine, sandbox, network stack, JS runtime, etc.). None of those small browsers implement…

Chromium-based (QtWebEngine) would probably be more accurate. While Blink technically was WebKit at some point, it's been quite a while. (Also you can still technically run qutebro…

Comment #32106534
qutebrowser used to use QtWebKit back in 2013, but doesn't use it anymore by default ever since its v1.0.0 release in 2017. Ever since then, it uses QtWebEngine, which is based on …

FWIW qutebrowser can disable JS (and also many other settings) per domain, though not on an as finegrained level as uMatrix. However, there is this: https://gitlab.com/jgkamat/jmat…
