Unfortunately you cannot use any of them, the only working solution is Qt WebView module.

And while it's theoretically possible to make QtWebKit working on iOS platform, you will be able to use it only for in-house application, as App Store rules forbid use of 3rd party browser engines. If this limited use case is interesting for anyone, you are welcome to contribute iOS support!
