Maybe that stopped others from submitting. I performed the migration of the Emacs xwidgets feature from the old to the newer webkitgtk API, but that’s when I noticed that xwidgets are hardly usable in its current state. I certainly wouldn’t use it as a browser, for example, because there is virtually no integration with the rest of Emacs. It works fine for sending JavaScript snippets to the widgets and have it respond, but it’s not very well integrated into Emacs. Disabling JavaScript has the effect of disabling *all* JavaScript, which makes scrolling impossible (as it is implemented by sending JavaScript to the widget). Turning it into a usable browser would require more fundamental changes, and that’s when I stopped working on patches. -- Ricardo
