The officially recommended way to test WebKit on Linux is to use the Epiphany browser shipped in GNOME, which shares the same engine (and a quite similar UI even).

Technical previews synchronised with the Safari Technology Preview available at https://webkit.org/downloads/ too.

ITP is part of Epiphany nowadays too: https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2020/09/16/epiphany-3-38-...

And it is part of WebKit's code base, not separately as only part of Safari. Consider Safari as just a UI layer.

oh nice, it wasn't when I was first implementing ITP related stuff, that's good to know.
