That's one way of looking at it. I'm not convinced this is the actual expectation, I guess it's more "we need a more capable rich-text renderer than QTextBrowser and Qt gave us a Chrome-in-a-library solution that can handle anything we throw at it so man up already (and buy more RAM if needed)". That comes mostly from discussing the needs for documentation viewers, but it was confirmed the other day talking to a PIM maintainer (about akonadi-contacts depending on QtWebEngine...).

Anyway, my gripe is mostly with resource usage and hardly about security/privacy issues, so I'll let you guys get back to that.
