  4. Status of QtWebengine/QtWebkit/Gecko/ in Sailfish 3 (asked by DylanVanAssche – 25 min) (Jaymzz, 09:08:50)
    1. Jolla CEO hinted the community to help with the browser. That woulb be possible if the community can get access to the QtWebEngine builds of the customers. The community can build a browser around it and make it easier for Jolla to decide if they keep the Gecko browser or move to a Chromium based one. (Jaymzz, 09:09:02)
    2. Sailfish Browser is fully open source, any contribution is welcome and all Jolla's work on the browser and browser engines are happening openly. We haven't announced any change in our browser engine strategy, and plan to maintain Gecko for the time being. We are open to alternatives such as QtWebEngine, but building a new browser would be a big effort. QtWebEngine is also open source and any volunteer can look up building a br (Jaymzz, 09:09:31)
