I wish WebKit GTK was more performant in general (and also in the MDN compatibility list but its another topic). It is getting better but it really is a blocker on shipping quality application with Tauri on Linux. There is a reason most apps using native webviews only target macos and windows, WebKit GfK is mostly undocumented for frontend engineers and often very much outdated / not installed on end user machines.

Are the capabilities substantially different from Apple webkit?

The majority of web features are the same, though some do require some platform specific work.

There are a few big differences like WebRTC support isn't in WebKitGTK releases.

Ah, thanks—I can see how that's the kind of thing you would want to see in a compatibility table!

The performance improvements of WebKitGTK aren't small, in my personal benchmarks on like MotionMark, performance has doubled in recent years and that is before Skia.

Adding to this wishlist, if it were available on Windows then it would be an option for a cross-platform webview widget, but it hasn’t supported it for a while now.
