Comment (by drkp):

 Sure, I guess the real question here is why we want this port at all. My
 specific use case is for rendering gnucash reports, and I suppose also for
 rendering HTML documentation in yelp. I think most of the dependents are
 similar use cases. It'd be nice if epiphany worked too (and I think it
 would with an update), but I can't imagine anyone wanting to use this for
 serious web browsing.

 As a result, I think we should be happy with a solution that uses software
 rendering. If we really wanted to go the accelerated route, using ANGLE
 with the metal backend sounds like the most promising approach to me, but
 metal support isn't enabled in the angle port yet. EGL is also currently
 disabled in the mesa port. I'm not really inclined to spend much more time
 looking into that given the use cases I mentioned, but if someone else
 really feels motivated I won't stop them!

 libsoup3 based builds installed.

 This is no longer true in the latest versions (hence the pkg-config
 version bump from -4.0 to -4.1).

 > For example, does the https://www.doctolib.fr site work in your build?

 Seems fine in the minibrowser?
