WPE WebKit [1] is a lightweight, embedded-focused port of the WebKit browser engine with hardware acceleration and strong multimedia support.
This snap packages WPE WebKit, the FDO graphics backend, and the Cog [2] web app container in a ready-to-use kiosk mode. Requires ubuntu-frame on Ubuntu Core, or a compatible Wayland compositor on desktop systems.
On Core systems, the browser runs as a service and automatically restarts after compositor refreshes.
On desktop systems, launch manually with wpe-webkit-kiosk.cog.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed on elementary OS from the command line. Open Terminal from the Applications launcher and type the following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install wpe-webkit-kiosk, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install wpe-webkit-kiosk --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
