Description Michael Catanzaro 2020-08-26 16:56:01 UTC
qtwebkit is based on original upstream QtWebKit, which died around the time Chromium forked WebKit into Blink. Nobody has tracked how many security bugs have been uncovered in WebKit since that time, but it's going to be more than the qt5-qtwebkit package, which is in dire state (bug #1872819).

We shouldn't have a totally unsandboxed web engine in Fedora that has gone so long with no security updates. I suggest that it's time for this package, and everything that depends on it, to disappear from Fedora. Dependencies should migrate to QtWebEngine if possible, or remove web views entirely if not.
