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?

Valid concern. But at that point you just built that dependancy as well. Really depends how far back you want to go?

At least 4-5 years back, I want to test behaviors of WebKit circa iOS 13
