Unfortunately it's not just that, the Network layer anod few other places
require some GTK2 related code too so even getting rid of the Netscape
plugin part I didn't manage to build it under clean GTK3

Moreover, to be honest it's like 6 years now I don't care about Flash
player and plugins in general and with all due respect to GNOME and
WebKitGTK project, I kinda don't feel that confident with a repository
somehow stuck in the past or with deeply integrated dependencies over a
(good old but) deprecated code.

So ozone/chromium it is, also because I'm unable to build QtWebEngine via
just chrome due some X dependency in there too :-)

Thanks everyone for thoughts and hints!

Best Regards
