The newer http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/index.html[WebKit2
|
||||
API] seems to lack basic features like proxy support, and almost no projects
|
||||
seem to have started porting to WebKit2 (I only know of
|

http://www.uzbl.org/[uzbl]).

When qutebrowser was created, the newer
|
||||
http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/index.html[WebKit2 API] lacked
|
||||
basic features like proxy support, and almost no projects have started porting
|
||||
to WebKit2. In the meantime, this situation has improved a bit, but there are
|
||||
stil only a few project which have some kind of WebKit2 support (see the
|

https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser#similar-projects[list of

alternatives]).

qutebrowser uses http://qt.io/[Qt] and http://wiki.qt.io/QtWebKit[QtWebKit]
|
||||
instead, which suffers from far less such crashes. It might switch to
|
||||
http://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine[QtWebEngine] in the future, which is based on
|
||||
Google's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(layout_engine)[Blink] rendering
|
||||
engine.
|
||||
qutebrowser uses http://qt.io/[Qt] and
|
||||
http://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine[QtWebEngine] by default (and supports
|
||||
http://wiki.qt.io/QtWebKit[QtWebKit] optionally). QtWebEngine is based on
|
||||
Google's https://www.chromium.org/Home[Chromium]. With an up-to-date Qt, it has
|
||||
much more man-power behind it than WebKitGTK+ has, and thus supports more modern
|
||||
web features - it's also arguably more secure.
