I hope in that universe everybody won't be downloading a copy of Chromium/Webkit/whatever with every desktop app.

The GP said "I dream of the inverse of the react native or electron trend".

That means no Chromium or other bundled web browser with every desktop app.

With Qt, you app will be light-weight, blazing fast, and have a native look and feel (as Qt uses native widgets whenever possible).

React Native doesn't bundle a web browser. It uses native widgets.

Qt already bundles QWebEngine, which is essentially a copy of Chromium

[santaclaus]

Are all Qt apps shipping and linking against QWebEngine though?

[dschulz]

Not if you don't explicitly link against the relevant modules. That is usually done by adding a few entries in the Qt project file (qmake) and then including the headers.

I'm looking at 32M Qt5WebKit.dll shipped with Zeal. Is this it?
