You "otter" be able to build current Qt 5.12.2 and all the bits underneath 
otter, although that's not something that the kde@ team does or supports.

Otter itself is in active development, which is nice. Its main HTML / JS / 
all-the-modern-crap engine can be either Qt WebKit or Qt WebEngine (Chromium). 
The latter is clearly more capable, ever since the official WebKit cooperation 
collapsed, and there's now just a handful of WebKit volunteers in the open-
source world.

www/falkon, www/otter-browser and www/quitebrowser all use (or can use) 
WebEngine; I use falkon most of every day. The differences in the browsers are 
largely in the "chrome" around the central web-viewing widget.

And of course there's www/chromium itself, if you want to get Borged.
