Hello.

And to add to the reasons, if the GTK4 bindings of webkit would be used, we would lose screen reader accessibility completely, see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227528.

Browser security is not a concern here because in this case the web
content is trusted, and this would also allow using WebKitGTK+’s URL
redirection features instead of HTTP over localhost.

Funnily enough it was switched explicitly from webkitgtk to Firefox for a reason I forget; I think it was related to disk size. Perhaps Martin or Jiri has more details to share on that.

As far as I know cockpit builds (don't know where) all its dependencies and ships them as part of their package but I could be very wrong on this. You could take a look there or direct questions about it there.

The Anaconda WebUI is implemented "in" cockpit.
