#WebKitGTK
Five days ago we shipped WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit 2.54, with a new compositor built on Skia and the Temporal API we helped specify at TC39.

On a Raspberry Pi 4 it lifts MotionMark by around 36%.

tauri on Linux specifically is so half baked
- broken appimages under wayland with an LD_PRELOAD workaround required
- broken on NVIDIA without environment variables (disable dmabuf renderer, disable compositing mode) due to upstream webkitgtk stuff
- system theme dosen't sync properly

Our colleague Carlos has written about the recent changes that brought Skia-based compositing to WPE WebKit and WebKitGTK 2.54: among other things, we perform >30% better in the benchmarks we run, compared to the results TextureMapper previously achieved.

my experience with webkitgtk has been awful so i'm very much curious to see where they'll end up taking orion for linux

Took a walk. Now with coffee, might start WebKitGTK bindings (if that's what I need).

here's a semi-better picture

its janky at times but it works :+1: (scrolling lags for some reason, may be a webkitgtk thing)
March 26, 2026 at 11:07 PM
yea im kinda whatever i'm just wondering if orion will make webkitgtk less bad
March 8, 2025 at 10:01 PM
Linux... Still bad with WebkitGTK. It's only getting worse after every update as far as I can see.

Whatever devs are responsible for webkitgtk should be drawn and quartered honestly
October 7, 2025 at 10:10 PM
it's actually even worse than using webkit. it uses webkitgtk on linux
my main complain about tauri is that they went with system-level webview instead of allowing you to use chromium

i get why they did it (binary size golf) but there is no scenario in which i want it to use webkit
December 7, 2023 at 4:04 AM
no idea what that is, all i know about is the pure vibe coding i pulled off with Microsoft™ CoPilot™

(i used webkitgtk and C)

WebKitGTK 2.54 has been finally released, and with it (among lots of other great things!) my patches adding support for fractional TouchPoint coordinates, PointerEvent capture/release through the DOM API, and fixing pinch-to-zoom handling and V4L2 video acceleration. It's been a while but it's […]
