About:
WebKitGTK is an open-source library that provides a full-featured web browser engine for GTK applications. It enables developers to embed modern web content, including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, directly into their native Linux desktop apps. This allows for creating sophisticated user interfaces using web technologies while maintaining deep integration with the GTK ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Full web standards support (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript ES6+)
  • Hardware-accelerated rendering
  • Native GTK+ 3 and GTK+ 4 integration
  • Web Inspector for debugging web content
  • Support for modern web APIs
Use Cases:
  • Embedding web-based documentation or help systems in GTK applications
  • Building hybrid desktop applications with web-based UIs
  • Creating RSS readers or web service clients with native GTK chrome
Alternatives:
  • qtwebengine – Qt's web engine based on Chromium; larger footprint but more feature-complete for complex web apps
  • cef – Chromium Embedded Framework; cross-platform but not natively integrated with GTK
