+# FIT WebView Bridge
+
+[🇬🇧 English](README.md) | [🇮🇹 Italiano](README.it.md)
+
+### Description
+
+**FIT WebView Bridge** is a cross‑platform Qt widget (C++/Objective‑C++) with **PySide6** bindings that wraps the OS‑native web engines:
+- **Windows →** Edge WebView2
+- **macOS →** WKWebView
+- **Linux →** WebKitGTK (with **GStreamer** for codecs)
+
+It exposes a **unified Python API** for browser control and enables **forensic viewing/capture** of content, including media requiring proprietary codecs (e.g., **H.264/AAC**), **without** custom QtWebEngine builds or codec redistribution burdens (system codecs are used). All **controls** (UI and app logic) are **delegated to the PySide window**.
+
+
+### Why this project
+QtWebEngine (Chromium) **does not enable proprietary codecs** by default, and redistributing them requires **licensing**. Alternatives (building QtWebEngine with codecs or using QtWebView/QML) have portability/control limitations. The chosen path is to **leverage native engines**, achieving codec compatibility and **full control** via a Python API.

+
+### Interface (methods/slots + signals)
+**Methods / slots**
+- `load(url)`
+- `back()`
+- `forward()`
+- `reload()`
+- `stop()`
+- `setHtml(html, baseUrl)`
+- `evalJs(script, callback)`
+
+**Signals**
+- `urlChanged(QUrl)`
+- `titleChanged(QString)`
+- `loadProgress(int)`
+- `loadFinished(bool)`
+- `consoleMessage(QString)`
+
+> Note: the API is **uniform** across OSes; implementations delegate to the native engine.
+
+### Prerequisites
+**Common**
+- **CMake** (>= 3.24 recommended)
+- **Ninja** (generator)
+- **Python** 3.9+
+- **PySide6** and **Shiboken6** (for Python bindings)
+- Platform build toolchain
+
+**Windows**
+- **MSVC** (Visual Studio 2022 or Build Tools) and Windows SDK
+- **Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime**
+- **WebView2 SDK** (NuGet/vcpkg)
+
+**macOS**
+- **Xcode** + Command Line Tools
+- **Objective‑C++** enabled (.mm)
+- Frameworks: `WebKit`, `Cocoa`
+
+**Linux**
+- **GCC/Clang**, `pkg-config`
+- **WebKitGTK** dev packages (e.g., `webkit2gtk-4.1` or distro equivalent)
+- **GStreamer** (base + required plugins for codecs)
+
+### Build (indicative)
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/fit-project/fit-webview-bridge.git
+cd fit-webview-bridge
+cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_PYSIDE6_BINDINGS=ON
+cmake --build build
+# (optional) ctest --test-dir build
+```
+
+### Examples
+PySide6 samples in `examples/` demonstrate URL loading, JS injection, and signal handling.
+
+### Codec & licensing notes
+The project **does not** redistribute proprietary codecs: it leverages codecs **already provided by the OS**. End‑user usage must comply with the relevant licenses/formats.
+
+### Project status
+Initial/alpha (API subject to change).
+
+# Fit Web — Project rationale and options for proprietary codecs
+
+**Fit Web** is the FIT project's *scraper* module designed to **forensically acquire and preserve web content**: <https://github.com/fit-project/fit-web>.
+
+Like the other modules, **Fit Web** is based on **PySide** (Qt for Python). It currently uses **QtWebEngine**, which is a **Chromium** wrapper.
+
+## The problem
+By default, Chromium **does not enable proprietary audio/video codecs**, notably **H.264** and **AAC**.
+
+## Options considered
+
+### 1) Build QtWebEngine with proprietary codecs
+Enable the `-webengine-proprietary-codecs` option.  
+Documentation: <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebengine-overview.html>
+
+**Drawbacks**
+- Must be done for **all supported operating systems**.
+- The build requires **very powerful machines** (e.g., difficulties on a MacBook Air M2 with 16 GB RAM).
+- **Licensing**: distributing H.264 and AAC **requires a license**.
+
+### 2) Use QtWebView
+QtWebView relies on **the OS’s native web APIs**; for proprietary‑codec content it uses **the system’s codecs**.  
+**Pros**: no custom builds, no direct license handling.  
+**Cons**: the UI layer is **QML**, geared toward lightweight (often mobile) UIs, so it **doesn’t provide full browser control** compared to QtWebEngine.
+
+Documentation: <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebview-index.html>
+
+### 3) Implement a native Qt widget (C/C++) per OS
+Develop a Qt widget (usable from **PySide6**) that embeds the system’s web engine:
+
+- **Windows →** Edge WebView2
+- **macOS →** WKWebView
+- **Linux →** WebKitGTK (with **GStreamer** for codecs)
+
+**Advantages**
+- **No redistribution licensing**: leverage the codecs already provided by the OS.
+- A **common API** can be exposed to PySide6.
+- **More control** than QtWebView, without QML’s limitations.
+
+**Disadvantages**
+- **Medium‑to‑high complexity** to implement.
+- Requires **C++** and, on macOS, **Objective‑C++**.
+- Requires **custom CMake** to include libraries and linking.
