If Chromium would provide a stable API that is covering all that Qt WebEngine needs,
we for sure would use it. 

Anyhow, keeping a stable API has not been a goal of Chromium so far; The 
idea seems to be  that they want to develop Chrome and therefore Chromium 
freely, without the restrictions of long term API commitment.
