What I meant was this long discussion about "QTWebengine is nonfree",
but as far as I experienced in being one of the early users of chromium
for a long time, it doesn't depend on anything Qt and doesn't bundle it.
So without having the time this morning to refresh the discussion, I think
it was about Chromium as a part for other software which is provided
through QtWebengine (Or maybe I'm tired and write only almost nonsense).

Isn't web-browsers just for smaller browsers? we have gnuzilla, and I'm
about to add palemoon when I have analysed and cleaned up my build of it.

Of course we coukd add them all to web-browser, the file won't become too large.
