Hello,
I would like to test websites against old versions of WebKit (the engine powering Epiphany and Safari) and the obvious way to do it without needing a SaaS solution like Browserstack would be to install old versions of Epiphany.
My first idea was to look at Snap and Flapak (as that would prevent issues with mismatched dependencies) but neither offer any version other than the latest.
Does anybody have an idea?
It should, however, be possible to install old versions using flatpak.
I know, but Flathub only offers versions built in 2024.
That’s odd.
The old versions are not intended to be used like this, they get cleaned up for space, otherwise it would be petabytes of unused software.
That makes sense, as most users automatically use the most recent version and don’t need to downgrade to prior ones.
