Maybe this is a feature request or I need to update to Linux that has both Gstreamer-ffmpeg and wpe-webkit drivers so I can play youtube videos in yad --html --browser --ur="youtube.com

Is it possible to call the full webikit browser directly in yad ?

I can bring up full webkit browser by  error using this: xdg-open /usr/local/bin/yad
appears to be based on firefox.

I just learned that epiphany is installed on GNOME, Debian, elementary OS, and Bodhi Linux .

I will check ubuntu and see if epiphany browser is also used with webkit on their build.
