<p>You're using qutebrowser with Qt {{qt_version}}.</p>

<p>Qt 5.7 was released in June 2016, with the 5.7.1 patch release in December
2016. It is based on Chromium 49 (March 2016) with (some) security fixes up to
Chromium 54 (October 2016). It is also
<a href="https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#browser-security">not covered</a>
by Debian security updates.</p>

<p>Qt 5.8 has had various bugs, and has been unsupported (but working to some
degree) in qutebrowser for a while.</p>

<p>Because of those security issues and the maintaince burden coming with
supporting old versions, support for Qt < 5.9 will be dropped in a future
qutebrowser release. You might want to check
<a href="https://qutebrowser.org/doc/install.html">alternate installation methods</a>
which allow you to get a newer Qt.</p>
