And of course, eventually we'll have to transition to Qt 6 everywhere,
including Windows, but we'll burn that bridge when we get there :/

having the #ifdefs and continuing to build for Windows using Qt5 +
WebKit seems like an OK temporary solution here.
as mentioned earlier, i can help with reviews.
