All the apps that still use QtWebKit (either explicitly or through
Ubuntu.Components.Extras.Browser 0.1 or version 1.0 of the policy)
should be rather straightforward to migrate to Oxide with minimal
changes, without any work required in webbrowser-app.
There are two exceptions, which might not be that easy to port (if
possible at all, assessing that would require in-depth analysis of their
code):
com.ubuntu.developer.penk.slatekit-shell
com.ubuntu.developer.zaspire.cordova-mobilespec

Title:
Remove qtwebkit from touch image
Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
Confirmed
Status in Web Browser App:
Triaged
Status in ubuntu-touch-meta package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
The argument to remove this is based on the following:
The qtwebkit webview is deprecated for our sdk and we will not be supporting
it long term
We are supporting an Oxide/Chromium solution for the Ubuntu.Webview
This was done largely for security reasons
The qtwebkit package is large and we would like to reduce image and install
size
We want to discourage app devs from using this api any longer, the review
tools have indicated this for several months
