Thanks for the effort. I tested it a bit and overall it works to me as expected. But I found this two issues. 1) The package webkit2gtk-driver is not installable because it depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 instead of libwebkit2gtk-4.0-0 The error is: The following packages have unmet dependencies: webkit2gtk-driver : Depends: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 (= 2.40.1-1~deb10u1) but it is not installable 2) The version shipped is 2.40.1 Please upgrade it to 2.40.2 as that newer version fixes major security issues. See: https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2023-0004.html Thanks!
