Notes
alexmurray
The Debian chromium source package is called chromium-browser in Ubuntu
mdeslaur
starting with Ubuntu 19.10, the chromium-browser package is just a script that installs the Chromium snap
jdstrand
webkit receives limited support. For details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#webkit webkit in Ubuntu uses the JavaScriptCore (JSC) engine, not V8
mdeslaur
wpewebkit isn't used by anything of importance in the archive, except for cog, an example container for wpewebkit. There is no point in attempting to backport newer wpewebkit versions to the archive. As such, marking as ignored. It is not feasible to fix webkitgtk, qtwebkit-source, and qtwebkit-opensource-src. Marking them as ignored. It is no longer possible to build new webkit2gtk versions on jammy and earlier. Marking as ignored. Since 2.54.0, webkit2gtk no longer builds on big-endian platforms due to the switch to Skia. It is no longer possible to update stable Ubuntu releases to newer versions of webkit2gtk. Marking as deferred for now.
