QtWebkit is old, unmaintained, possibly insecure, and also has quite a few bugs nowadays.
This also adds a couple of smaller features while at it:
- Reload button turns into a Stop button while loading
- Cursor changes shape over links
- Address bar selects all text when clicked to ease typing a completely new address
- Browser forward/back button on the mouse work
as well as a slew of features brought in by QtWebEngine, such as:
- Text selection support
- Context menu with "Copy link" and others
