I think you're lost, mate. If you want some hints about why: webkit's tar.xz is 20M while qtwebengine is 244M, one is made in C and useable in C while the other is a C++ only abomination requiring Qt. Don't misunderstand, though, Webkit is also horrible. The only suckless browser I can imagine is Netsurf, basically.
