yes, and https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/55627 starts paving the way
for qtwebengine - at some point qgis will switch to qt6 which doesnt
have qtwebkit, so qtwebengine support will have to come (as
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/54965 said, with things that might
not be possible yet...)

but i can readd the dep on qtwebkit if it's here to stay in the
portstree a little longer :)
