WebEngine of Qt is announced for Qt 5.3. BlackBerry should follow?

Hello Web Tech Devs!

This one comes from another corner of the world dev but it could have repercussions here.

Digia announced on the Qt Blog: introducing the WebEngine of Qt

TLDR, they start using Blink (Chromiun) as their engine Web instead of WebKit (Apple). Mainly because the former is technically better than this on a few points. The post is great but interesting so I thought was worth sharing.

How does this influence the BlackBerry?

BB10 browser going to Blink too? Been taken into account?

What about WebWorks applications?

QT QtWebKit (their own port) but as far as I know, it was not available on QNX still. Does this mean that QNX is or should wait for 5.3 Qt and support the new WebEngine?

I know, immediate concern but it would be cool to have an ongoing discussion with the dev community.

Please share your thoughts and made more if you have a little.

See you soon.

> How does this influence the BlackBerry?

It will be definitely evaluated. Qt is already supported on BlackBerry 10, and so a future upgrade can be beneficial to the development community. However, at this stage, nothing has been announced.

Browser of > BB10 Will switch to Blink too? Been taken into account?

Browser team is still evaluating future technolgies. However no public decision is yet available.

> What about WebWorks apps?

Applications WebWorks will continue to share the same web rendering engine in the browser and execution.

Unable to answer at this time.
