Port qt webkit to webengine #1

Open cornpaffies opened 2 months ago

cornpaffies commented 2 months ago

The default branch (webengine) is in a usable state.

If anyone wants to help with testing please use a virtual machine or make sure you have backups first.

The first problem that significantly slows down the application is that when switching feeds, page loading progress appears in the news text area. I use the "Show unread" filter and with it the news is not displayed until you select it from the news list. It just shows a blank page.

But even loading an blank page takes a noticeable amount of time, during which the application freezes. And it turns out that each feed switch freezes the application a little. It seems QtWebEngine is recreated every time.

@Katarn, haven't seen this in the webengine port yet. I'll look into it. I have however had this happen in v0.19.4 (webkit) so I don't think this is webengine-specific.

Previously, I used the annulen engine instead of original QtWebKit, which may be why I didn’t notice any lags.

Thanks, that's good to know.

Let's port QuiteRSS to Qt6 first and see if that fixes (some of) the performance issues; if not I'll debug after.
