This article is a stub. Please help out by expanding it - how to get started.

QtWebEngine is a web browser library that integrates Chromium into Qt. It is usually pulled in as a dependency rather than installed directly.

This package may take particularly long to compile, the jumbo-build use flag may help.

Gentoo's new public binhost contains qtwebengine.
