The web browser built into the Desktop client allows users to embed a (custom JavaScript) web interface, third party web applications into the Desktop client. With this added functionality, users do not need to switch between applications and browser that is installed on the operating system.
To integrate an in-client browser, we utilize the Qt WebEngine. The Qt WebEngine integrates Chromium's fast moving web capabilities into Qt, a cross-platform software development framework.
Version
Currently, (version 5.0+) we are using QT WebEngine 5.15.11, which is a long time support version (LTS) and in this version Chromium 87.0.4280 is used.
If you want to check the version yourself, you can use a browser application like whatismybrowser.org, which will reveal the Qt WebEngine version and the Chrom(ium) version that is used. The use is simple – Add the URL to the Desktop client as a webpage and open it in the layout, and all relevant and irrelevant information will be shown.
