Depends how you mean by "standard"
As "Standard" all my linux systems use gtk3 but they also have gtk2 and qt5
as "standard" gambas uses gb.gui switcher in a "Graphical application" that
will use gtk or qt depending on the system or GB_GUI env choice.
because of that gb.gui is limited to controls that all the gui systems have.
GTK3 webview only exists in the newer gambas so your only options for
webview are..

1. use gb.gui.qt not gb.gui , that'll force your app to be QT and enable
the qt webview
2.  if the linux you have is ubntu based use the PPA install method to
easily upgrade gambas.
3. manually compile to upgrade.
4. use one of my most awesome tools to upgrade if you have a supported
system ;) lol
