If you modify the icons, you'll need `inkscape` (command line only), to regenerate the bitmap versions. It isn't needed for a normal installation as the bitmap icons are bundled.
## Notes
-Most of the privacy/security stuff will be done with patches against WebKit as quite a lot isn’t into [WebKitSettings](https://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/WebKitSettings.html) and with generic WebKit extensions that should be resuseable.

They are also compatible with GNU make so portability shouldn't have significantly dropped.
