Blanket claims of "insecure" do not help anyone. Report concrete CVEs that
affect QtWebKit and/or KHTML and we will backport the fixes. I backported
CVE fixes even to kdelibs3's KHTML. I will also point out that many current
Chrome CVEs DO NOT affect QtWebKit, let alone KHTML, because the code bases
of the forks have diverged a lot, and each fork (WebKit first, now
Blink/Chromium) has introduced huge amounts of additional code, which of
course also means more security issues (because bug-free code does not
exist).
