Hello,

I think this would require a careful analysis like the one Marius Bakke
carried out when packaging ‘ungoogled-chromium’.

It would be both nicer and easier if QtWebEngine could be tweaked to use
our own ‘ungoogled-chromium’ directly instead of rebuilding one, but
yeah, that sounds tricky.

OK.

Thank you!
