QtWebEngine crowdfunding launched!

Hi! A few weeks ago, I posted a request-for-comments about starting a crowdfunding for QtWebEngine support in qutebrowser. I got a lot of positive feedback, and I'm happy to announce the campaign just went live! You can find it here: http://igg.me/at/qutebrowser In case you're one of the few persons who haven't heard me saying "your issue will be solved by QtWebEngine" - here is a short explanation of what's going on: qutebrowser is currently using QtWebKit, which is based on an outdated version of the WebKit rendering engine. This comes with various stability, performance and security issues. QtWebKit also got removed from Qt 5.6, which means qutebrowser could break when a distribution stops shipping it, like it happened a few days ago with Homebrew on OS X. The goal of the campaign is to add support for QtWebEngine to qutebrowser. QtWebEngine is based on Chromium and in very active development - support for it will fix dozens of qutebrowser bugs related to QtWebKit. Since this is a lot of work, I plan to work on it full-time for a month, or even longer if possible. I'd really appreciate your help! Thanks!
