/*  An earlier implementation that uses QWebView.  Works good but
 *  on the rpi it currently does not support hardware acceleration.
 *
 *  See https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitTiling:
 *      "QWebView is based on the QWidget system, thus it cannot
 *       easily support rotation, overlays, hardware accelerated
 *       compositing and tiling."
 *
 *  This browser might be reincarnated if hardware acceleration is not needed
 *  or gets implemented into QWebView.
