Move to QWebEngineView #618

Open raelgc opened 6 years ago

Webkit is displaying too many issues with Slack JS, including the current blocker #594.

Let's check if using Chromium engine will improves the compatibility.

In Ubuntu, QWebEngineView is present in 18.04.

Since the official app is just an electron embedding of the website (just as scudcloud is a QtWebKit one), it’s pretty sure that using Chromium would work. ;) So this would just be a Qt vs GTK embedding in the end (but with open sources, which is always better).
