Hello Erik, the current version of Konqueror uses QtWebEngine by default. I fear that kwebkitpart may have been removed from it (for instance, I know it's been removed from Gentoo). In the weekend, I'll try to install an Ubuntu virtual machine with both Ubuntu 20.04 and 16.04 to check what the situation is. Stefano
