WebKitGTK 2.28 Seeing Flatpak Sandbox Support, WebGL + WebAudio By Default

Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 11 February 2020 at 01:03 AM EST. 1 Comment

Following this weekend's GNOME 3.36 beta, WebKitGTK 2.27.90 is available as a snapshot of this GTK-catered version of the WebKit layout engine on its path towards version 2.28.

With WebKitGTK 2.27.90 there are many new features baking for WebKitGTK 2.28: Flatpak sandboxing support, WebGL and WebAudio are finally enabled by default in WebKitSettings, support for same-site cookies, support for the webkit-font-smoothing CSS property, support for inspecting service workers to the remote inspector, and various other changes.

More details on this development release on the road to WebKitGTK 2.28 can be found via WebKitGTK.org.
