Hello.
And to add to the reasons, if the GTK4 bindings of webkit would be used,
we would lose screen reader accessibility completely, see
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227528.

Fair. I wonder how much of that memory use would go away if instead of
using Firefox, the web content ran in an embedded WebKitGTK+ webview.
Browser security is not a concern here because in this case the web
content is trusted, and this would also allow using WebKitGTK+’s URL
redirection features instead of HTTP over localhost.
Funnily enough it was switched explicitly from webkitgtk to Firefox
for a reason I forget; I think it was related to disk size. Perhaps
Martin or Jiri has more details to share on that.

As far as I know cockpit builds (don't know where) all its
dependencies and ships them as part of their package but I could be
very wrong on this. You could take a look there or direct questions
about it there.
The Anaconda WebUI is implemented "in" cockpit.
