Otter-Browser and qt5-webengine

Does anyone know if its possible to make otter use the qt5-webengine rather than qtwebkit

There is an option in about:config to change the "Backends". The default is qtwebkit. It lets me change this string and I've tried qt5-webengine, qt5webengine, qt-webengine & qtwebengine.

In all cases when I check help about I get:

Web backend: WebKit Backend 538.1. (The same as when its set to the default)

Cheers

If you have Qt 5.5 you can compile it to use qt webengine: https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-b … ts.txt#L71

Ahh shame. Only got QT5.4 installed as of now. Also I was hopeful that it was just a matter of changing the option so I could flip/flop between the two to see if one works better than the other.
