Yes: https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine
> Qt WebEngine uses code from the Chromium project. However, it is not containing all of Chrome/Chromium: Binary files are stripped out. Auxiliary services that talk to Google platforms are stripped out. The codebase is modularized to allow use of system libraries like OpenSSL. We do update to the latest Chromium version in use before a Qt release.
Here's a browser: https://www.qutebrowser.org/ https://www.qutebrowser.org/ I haven't tried it yet.
[edit]
oh, it's already in the apt repos on debian testing :)
