Sorry to be late to the party, but here are a few tweaks.

PyQt and PySide are two separate Python bindings for Qt. PyQt is developed by Riverbank Computing, Ltd., and PySide is developed by Qt Group, Plc. Sometimes they share the same version numbers, but usually not. Version number doesn't necessarily imply compatibility (especially from PyQt).

I see this line a problematic because:

1. "bindings for Qt" is vague. "bindings for Qt6", would be better, since these bindings also exist for Qt5.
2. Pyside should be stylized as PySide.
3. Along with 1 and 2, PyQt6, PySide6.
4. PySide6 was updated to 6.9.2.

Suggested edit:
Both of the Python bindings for the Qt6 toolkit have been updated to their latest releases:

• PyQt6: updated to 6.9.1
• PySide6: updated to 6.9.2

It has been 4 months since Qt upstream has backported security updates to 87-based. I think it's pretty safe and informative to say that qt5-webengine will no longer be receiving security patches. I'm sure not interested in doing it, anyways.

Suggested edit:
Security updates for the underlying chromium base have now ceased. Use at your own risk.

So sorry. Personally, I don't really care, other than for the consistency. https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/lists/bulleted

Sorry to be a nitpicker, Max, but none of the bulleted points in this document are complete sentences and should not have a period after each point. Honestly, it really only caught my eye because there was a lack of consistency here.

Hopefully the final revision with all fixes.
