I think it would be better, if an abstraction, say <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">KWebPage</tt> were introduced, which could be built against <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">QtWebEngine</tt>, <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">QtWebKit</tt>, and what ever will be the hot-new-thing two years down the line.</p>
<p>There are multiple reasons I think this would be a good idea</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">FreeBSD&Co do not have WebEngine -- which blocks us from providing up to date KDEPim. [1], and possibly more applications every new KDE Applications release cycle.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Who knows how long WebEngine is <em>the thing</em></li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Less code duplications (every application seems to write more or less the same code to restrict the capabilities of WebEngine)</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Some people may have [security] concerns with being required to use google code to run KDE</li>
</ul>
<p>Such an abstraction was started by <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/p/apol/" style="

<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>[1] I invite people to glance at the chromium sources, before telling me <em>just port WebEngine to FreeBSD </em> :)</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TASK DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/T5852" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/T5852</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>tcberner<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>arrowdodger, rakuco, kfunk, KDE PIM, FreeBSD, tcberner, apol<br /></div>
