WebKitGTK has been ported to GTK4 already, the only missing feature is
a11y. It's not "officially" supported yet, though for two reasons:

1- As I said accessibility is missing. We need to find a solution, and
it's not going to be easy I'm afraid.

2- The GTK4 support implies we are going to break the API and bump the
API version in a incompatible way. We want to take advantage of it to
remove deprecated APIs and maybe do other API changes.

So, you can already build with GTK4 enabled, and install it in parallel
to the GTK3 version, but we are not updating the library version and
the API might change in the future.
