Hello Michael, Thanks for your reply.
The last version of WebKitGTK to support Windows was 2.4, from 2014. > Sorry for the confusion. Though JavaFX WebKit port is based on GTK stable branches, we don't use any GTK specific bits. We rely on GTK release branches to cherry-pick the stabilisation patches to our downstream branch.

I see that the JIT support has been dropped some time ago, and CLOOP based backend seems to be unstable on 32-bit Windows. Any thoughts on that?
