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). > DRM > ("Widevine") is disabled at build time, and the Web Store is > non-functional without the end user explicitly enabling it. >=20 > There are some grey areas though.

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 l= arge. --=20 ng0 GnuPG: A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 GnuPG: https://n0is.noblogs.org/my-keys https://www.infotropique.org https://krosos.org --y2gs5rjra2pfxkfb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEqIyK3RKYKNfqwC5S4i+bv+40hYgFAlmJUdkACgkQ4i+bv+40 hYj/YxAAubXpNlkkHNFk6SBMjqzqIljNeGPbO691BmojeiCfcCCwf/he9NkIcQuD bWAcUBnz+W75OneginHj3WB8pkF0UhmNmoi6mKlOCZTnSwdBDaTim9HlSc4wtPo0 AM2qVgV1w41wNzMPs0kuFCbyXBQ9SwMsx9JLrCebmKJEYElHP2gC0wogBnKVwPH8 DBzl/eN0KkRnB9EDYCEM2Yspck5tlurhnXzxjoGBM/GPaCXYVjTRDiPi1S4U01uW ThNNpDO+dPvBv+Nqrfc1Vs3qhUlfBKOrISZYwHhwJbZYhG8SU3acuSIgkcK5oKe7 dWhgkD3sIHV7E8Zl/II0jMCTgqB5QVYwzZwexCLGnL/yQ81w+8zOQpmHbyfeDCso jc8EkiGnX602neFKZRMxWBYJ1HVkIzQ5vt/XwpDHyWR/assQybrJ+6pBTbyAc8DS IE/zJbw/VKaNaFDUVt9GPEMUzGDN86p5ntvl34kueGKCipqEgxkOdyP3zO3PN1VY AwjHhIz+hgHJTxIjwGlZw7IveILJX4iKqr3cp8XLcIeAtd5SjiQr+3MlEm5No1Vu /82iHJoE09ls75y3M40YCSyCES3hjV68sBpaprVWLYzBcKW9M3HhXPUsCUSiYOnX ei9RTC990tY9Cd44YR4oyaYQC5A0QvLeOlhkoebXEJE1bmml2tg= =iLCQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --y2gs5rjra2pfxkfb--
