[QGIS-Developer] Recommended method to display a webpage in a plugin

[Jean-Baptiste Peter]

Alright, thank you for your help on this! I have just a last question on this topic: 

If I am correct, QtWebKit is deprecated and has been removed from Qt since version 5.6. Does this mean that it will be removed from Qgis whenever the project moves to Qt 6 or is there another way to still ship QtWebKit with Qt 6 ?

Best,

Jean-Baptiste

It's a very messy, horrible situation with no good ways forward. Right now you'll need to use QtWebKit, and there's no plans on the horizon to change this.
