I donn't mean to be negative about the prospects of getting a working browser, but in the 2+ years since I first got Qt6webengine compiling, to the best of my knowledge, despite all code being published in githib, nobody except me has compiled the webengine.
A few others have built qt6base and some of the other dependencies, and have contributed patches, for which I'm grateful.
I've had some success getting it compiling, and through tenacity, have fixed some stuff, but the reality is that I'n *NOT* a programmer. I know literally none of the OS/2 API, and only have very basic knowledge of C/C++. I can hack existing code and maybe get it working, but when it comes to complex code and interpreting crashes, I'm truly not that good.
What I'm trying to say is that right now, I hold out little prospect of us getting a newer browser than the one based on Qt 6.2.6.
The other reality is, that even if we can somehow get a newer version, the 4GB memory limit is a REAL issue.....
