Comment:
I had some problems with the `fixed` bitmap font when i tried this (it had artifacts and rendered quite slowly), but i think that's a qt6 issue and not a qutebrowser issue. Apparently it was fixed in qt 6.5.2, which void has not packaged?

Comment:
I imagine the font rendering issue can be worked around by disabling bitmap fonts as was the case with recent Firefox updates. This with a compelling need for bitmap fonts (I'm curious to know what such a need might be) can either build the browser with the `qt6` option disabled, or just manually install the Qt5 dependencies and pick that version with a command-line flag.
The fact that `qt5-webengine` is stuck at Chromium 8x and increasingly triggers warnings from websites looking to drop support (or functionality altogether) strongly motivates the move to Qt6 by default wherever possible.

https://github.com/ahesford/void-packages qb
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/45665
qutebrowser: update to 3.0.0, use Qt6 by default
We can make Qt6 a (default, when possible) build option to allow people to build Qt5 versions if desired, and also force the WebKit backend (which implies Qt5) when WebEngine is unavailable.

Comment:
Hi, since upgrading qutebrowser to v3.0, Invidious videos don't play in browser. Instead they throw the error "No compatible source found for this media". [qutebrowser issue #7185](https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/7185) says this is due to the QtWebEngine binary not being built with proprietary codec support.
Dev of qutebrowser The_Compiler [says](https://old.reddit.com/r/qutebrowser/comments/165kwqg/with_the_new_qutebrowser_update_some_videos/):
>Looks like Void Linux [builds Qt 5](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/qt5-webengine/template#L12) with proprietary codec support, but [does not](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/qt6-webengine/template) pass the same option for Qt 6. You might want to open an issue in their packaging repo for this, as it doesn't seem intentional.
I am not OP in that thread, but I am experiencing the same error. I can open an issue if that is preferred but I thought it might be better to just give you a heads up since this is probably a simple fix.

Comment:
Until qt6-webengine is rebuilt with the necessary codecs, you can always manually install the PyQt5 dependencies and launch qutebrowser with qt5-webengine.
