Notes

jdstrand

qt4-x11 unmaintained upstream (see README.webkit for details) webkit is a fork of khtml from kdelibs. kdelibs5 is farther from it, while qt4-x11 attempts to unify khtml and webkit.

mdeslaur

webkitkde is a wrapper around qt4-x11's webkit.

chromium-browser usually has its own CVEs for its own embedded webkit, but adjust it as needed
