Is there a way to install old versions of GNOME Web / Epiphany? (lemmy.blackeco.com)

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?

Maybe you were hoping that there is an easy and elegant solution like Appimage, Flatpak or Snap.

Snaps? Elegant??

More elegant than running an entire Linux system in a vm.
