Bug Description
WebView is a poor API for embedding local HTML applications - it requires implementations for various permission request signals and contains a lot of API that just isn't relevant. Doing things like supporting multiple windows will all require writing QML code. And there are restrictions around file:/// URLs that limit functionality to applications (eg, bug 1591761) which result in applications relying on footguns like WebPreferences:
I want to provide an alternative API (ApplicationWindow, or something) which will be a dedicated API for embedding local HTML applications.
