Thank you very much for this work.  I have looked into QtWebEngine
before and do think they are doing "the right thing" (apart from using
Blink in the first place) wrt binaries and spyware.

The patch LGTM overall, but I would like to see the unused "third_party"
directories removed if possible.  You might be able to reuse much of
this snippet:

Can you give it a try?
