to version 55.0.2883.75.) * [QTBUG-54650, QTBUG-59922] Accessibility is now

enabling it conditionally and its heavy performance impact. Set the environment

variable `QTWEBENGINE_ENABLE_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY` to enable it again. *

[QTBUG-56531] Enabled `filesystem:` protocol handler. * [QTBUG-57720] Optimized

incremental scene-graph rendering in particular for software rendering. *
