Hi,

QtQuick 2 is not required for using WebEngine and there is support for software 
rendering. The existing Qt Creator integration as well as the proposed patch to 
Qt Assistant to use Web Engine is using the widgets integration.

To put it to a test, I just installed a fresh Windows 10 in VirtualBox on my 
Linux Box, installed VS, Qt Creator and Qt 5.13 and compiled the web engine 
widgets simple browser example. It built and ran out of the box inside the 
virtual machine and I could browser qt.io and doc.qt.io.

Here's a third question:

Does using QtWebEngine still mean firing QQ2 under the hood and the
subsequent OpenGL integration? That's known to be extremely flaky (and
one of the reasons why Qt Creator dropped QQ2 for its welcome screen),

My 2 c,
