   @Conan_Kudo @marceloexc @a1ba @kagihq Well there is WebKit WPE but it has less integration than the GTK port so Kagi would have to do a lot more work.
   
   While I think they could toss out libadwaita and get something cross-desktop enough (although I've been avoiding GTK4 here because last time I tested it it was seriously broken).

     @marceloexc @a1ba @kagihq Using Qt would give them that. But the underlying reason they're using GTK and libadwaita is because their browser is using WebKitGTK. To use Qt with that, they'd need to write a wrapper for WebKitGTK for Qt. (QtWebKitGTK?)

     I certainly would prefer to see that as a KDE Plasma user, and I think most users on most desktops would prefer that too, since Qt adapts better to the variety of Linux desktops.
