I think Aleix is referring to those change requests:
  https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126156/
  https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/129224/

I don't have an opinion on QWE/QTextBrowser/qwebenginepart(?) yet, I haven't 
really investigated the different approaches.

Dropping the dependency to a full-featured web engine (i.e. going the 
QTextBrowser route) indeed sounds like the most viable solution at this 
point...

Cheers,
Kevin
