+-<span class="note">Note this warning will only appear once. Use <span class="mono">:open
+-qute://warning/webkit</span> to show it again at a later time.</span>
+
+ <p>You're using qutebrowser with the QtWebKit backend.</p>
+
+-<p>Unfortunately, QtWebKit hasn't seen a release (including security updates)
+-since June 2017, and it also lacks various security features (process
+-isolation/sandboxing) present in QtWebEngine.</p>
++<p>QtWebKit lacks various security features (process isolation/sandboxing).</p>
+
+ <p>Because of those security issues and the maintaince burden coming with
+ supporting QtWebKit, support for it will be dropped in a future qutebrowser
+-release. It's recommended that you use QtWebEngine instead.</p>
+-
+-<h2>(Outdated) reasons to use QtWebKit</h2>
+-<p>Most reasons why people preferred the QtWebKit backend aren't relevant anymore:</p>
+-
+-<p><b>PDF.js support</b>: This qutebrowser release comes with PDF.js support
+-for QtWebEngine.</p>
+-
+-<p><b>Missing control over Referer header</b>: This qutebrowser release
+-supports <span class="mono">content.headers.referer</span> for QtWebEngine.</p>
+-
+-<p><b>Missing control over cookies</b>: With Qt 5.11 or newer, the <span
+-class="mono">content.cookies.accept</span> setting works on QtWebEngine.</p>
+-
+-<p><b>Graphical glitches</b>: The new values for the <span
+-class="mono">qt.force_software_rendering</span> setting added in v1.4.0 should
+-hopefully help.</p>
+-
+-<p><b>Missing support for notifications</b>: Those <a
+-href="https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-29611">aren't supported yet</a> in
+-Qt, but support is planned to be added in Qt 5.13, released around May 2019.</p>
+-
+-<p><b>Resource usage</b>: This release adds the <span
+-class="mono">qt.process_model</span> and <span
+-class="mono">qt.low_end_device_mode</span> settings which can be used to
+-decrease the resource usage of QtWebEngine (but come with other drawbacks).</p>
+-
+-<p><b>Not trusting Google</b>: Various people have checked the connections made
+-by QtWebEngine/qutebrowser, and it doesn't make any connections to Google (or
+-any other unsolicited connections at all). Arguably, having to trust Google
+-also is a smaller issue than having to trust every website you visit because of
+-heaps of security issues...</p>
+-
+-<p><b>Nouveau graphic driver</b>: You can use QtWebEngine with software
+-rendering. With Qt 5.13 (~May 2019) it might be possible to run with Nouveau
+-without software rendering.</p>
+-
+-<p><b>Wayland</b>: It's possible to use QtWebEngine with XWayland. Some users
+-also seem to be able to run it natively with Qt 5.11, but currently, <span
+-class="mono">QUTE_SKIP_WAYLAND_CHECK=1</span> needs to be set in the
+-environment to do so.</p>
+-
+-<p><b>Instability on FreeBSD</b>: Those seem to be FreeBSD-specific crashes,
+-and unfortunately nobody has looked into them yet so far...</p>
+-
+-<p><b>QtWebEngine being unavailable in ArchlinuxARM's PyQt package</b>:
+-QtWebEngine itself is available on the armv7h/aarch64 architectures, but their
+-PyQt package is broken and doesn't come with QtWebEngine support. This
+-<a href="https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11269&p=54587">has
+-been reported</a> in their forums, but without any change so far. It should
+-however be possible to rebuild the PyQt package from source with QtWebEngine
+-installed.</p>
+-
+-<p><b>QtWebEngine being unavailable on Parabola</b>: Claims of Parabola
+-developers about QtWebEngine being "non-free" have repeatedly been disputed,
+-and so far nobody came up with solid evidence about that being the case. Also,
+-note that their qutebrowser package is orphaned and was often outdated in the
+-past (even qutebrowser security fixes took months to arrive there). You
+-might be better off chosing an <a
+-href="https://qutebrowser.org/doc/install.html">alternative install
+-method</a>.</p>
+-
+-<p><b>White flashing between loads with a custom stylesheet</b>: This doesn't
+-seem to happen with <span class="mono">qt.process_model = single-process</span>
+-set. However, note that that setting comes with decreased security and
+-stability, but QtWebKit doesn't have any process isolation at all.</p>
++release.</p>
