The end for GTK 3 support has no date, but WebKitGTK has been moving towards GTK 4.

The following work would be needed.

Write a new library, akin to https://github.com/joachifm/cl-webkit/ (which targets webkit2gtk-4.0 and webkit2gtk-4.1), that targets webkitgtk-6.0 (the new API designed for use with GTK 4). It will depend on https://github.com/crategus/cl-cffi-gtk4 or equivalent (unlike cl-webkit, which depends on https://github.com/sharplispers/cl-cffi-gtk/).

For the port itself, parts of gtk.lisp would have to be adapted to the new API. A migration guide is available.
