The autoplay setting was binary and its default blocked all media,
including muted video, leaving sites that rely on muted autoplay
visibly broken. Replace it with a tri-state user-agent autoplay
policy (allow audio and video, block audio, or block audio and video)
defaulting to allowing only inaudible media to autoplay.
This is enforced through the media element's "allowed to play" check,
so unmuting a muted autoplay or calling `play()` cannot slip audio
past the policy; audible playback is permitted once the document has
been activated by the user. The policy lives in a dedicated
AutoplaySettings consulted from HTMLMediaElement instead of the
Permissions Policy "allowed to use feature" check it was previously
conflated with.
Selecting text without custom ::selection styling changed the
foreground color of the selected content. This was especially visible
for links, where the text changed color but the underline did not.
The default selection style supplied both a selection background and a
foreground color from the palette or HighlightText system color. That
made ordinary selections behave as if the page had explicitly styled
::selection color.
Only provide a default selection background, so selected content keeps
its own foreground color unless CSS overrides it. Remove the now-unused
SelectionText palette role.
Previously, the "View History" action always opened a new tab. We now
switch to an existing `about:history` tab when one exists in the active
window and fall back to opening a new tab otherwise.
Show native history menus when users right-click or long-press
the back and forward toolbar buttons. Populate entries from the
UI-process session history mirror, using saved history titles and
favicons when available and falling back to the URL and globe icon
otherwise.
Share the Qt base64 PNG icon helper so bookmark menus and navigation
history menus render stored favicons consistently.
Use the LibWebView history mirror to preserve traversable session
history across WebContent process swaps. WebContent reports snapshots to
the UI process, and new renderers can be seeded from the mirror.
Browser back and forward now resolve through the UI-owned used history
steps. WebContent still runs the spec traversal path when the current
renderer has enough matching state to do so.
Handle canceled and no-op UI navigations without leaving speculative
history entries or pending WebDriver waits behind. Preserve traversal
precheck state across synchronous IPC shutdown, and avoid overwriting a
restored target entry's persisted scroll state before the document has
adopted that entry.
Hide the native Vulkan child window whenever the current paintable
cannot be imported and rendered through the dmabuf path. This lets the
existing QWidget paint path remain visible for shareable bitmap frames
instead of covering it with a clear-only Vulkan frame.
Make the address autocomplete popup a non-activating top-level window.
The Linux Vulkan web view is a native child window, so ordinary widgets
that overlap it can be obscured by native stacking. Keeping the popup as
a top-level tooltip-style window lets it appear above web content while
preserving keyboard focus in the location edit.
Use a native QVulkanWindow child for Linux DMABUF presentation instead
of making WebContentView itself a QRhiWidget. This keeps BrowserWindow
on Qt's normal QWidget backing store path while sampling compositor
DMABUF backing stores directly in Vulkan.
Keep WebContentView's paintEvent as fallback for builds without Vulkan
DMABUF support and for cases where the Vulkan instance or window cannot
be created. Set an explicit Vulkan API version before creating the
shared QVulkanInstance so validation layers do not reject Qt defaults.
Show a delayed preview popup when hovering background tabs. Build the
thumbnail from the cached front or backup WebContent bitmap so chrome
does not need a fresh screenshot request or WebContent repaint on hover.
Tie the popup to the tab hover lifecycle and hide it on current-tab
hovers, tab presses, drags, layout changes, and tab strip exits.
When using client-side decorations, the window was a flat rectangle
with no outline, so its edge disappeared against similarly colored
backgrounds. Paint a 1px border in a new chrome window outline color
and reserve a matching 1px contents margin so child widgets do not
cover it.
The outline color matches chrome_border() in dark mode, but is darker
in light mode, since the window edge has to hold up against arbitrary
backdrops behind the window rather than our own chrome surfaces.
The border is skipped when the window is maximized or fullscreen, and
on macOS, where frameless windows already get rounded corners and a
native shadow.
Mark the search field with a dynamic property when a find-in-page query
has zero matches, and let the chrome stylesheet show a red-tinted
background. Clear the state immediately for empty searches.
This currently just contains a menu item to open about:history. But in
the future, we can add a list of recently closed / recently visited
pages as well.
This adds a WebUI to view the local browsing history, with controls to
search and delete entries. The APIs used to search history are paginated
to prevent excessive query sizes.
We no longer support more than one event loop per process as of 02b2053
so this was causing a crash when taking a screenshot. We now spin the
main event loop until a "done" flag is set.

loop until a "done" flag is set.
Fixes#9928
Add an explicit initializer for process-lifetime event loops and use it
for browser, helper service, and utility main loops. This preserves weak
event loop references for cross-thread users while making main thread
loop lifetime independent of normal program teardown.
When collapsed vertical tabs are expanded on hover, the collapse check
used QCursor::pos() against the vertical tabs rect. On some platforms,
after the cursor leaves the browser window entirely, that position can
remain at the last in-window coordinate, so the tabs stay expanded.
When no URLs are provided on the command line, LibWebView actually adds
about:newtab to the initial URL list. The only time this list is empty
is when we open a popup window.
We currently use LibWebView's Application as the entry point to learn
about the bookmarks bar being shown/hidden, and propagate that through
virtual methods. At the time this was added, AppKit's Tab window and
Qt's BrowserWindow did not have a settings observer. They do now, so
let's skip a couple of middle-men.
For AppKit, we change the settings observer to just (weakly) store the
Tab instance so that we don't have to add callback functions for each
setting.
Hide fullscreen chrome at the TabWidget level instead of hiding the
current tab's toolbar child directly. This lets the toolbar container
and reserved verticaltabs space stop contributing to layout while
fullscreen content is shown.
Also keep the exit fullscreen button above native web content on macOS
and center it using the fullscreen screen geometry rather than a
potentially stale parent widget size.
Track whether a keydown should perform text insertion separately from
the delivered code point. Native frontends and text-oriented test paths
can now mark events that came from text input, while shortcut-style key
events keep Alt-modified default insertion suppressed.
This lets macOS Option-generated text such as Option+A and Option+Space
insert into editable controls without making plain Alt shortcuts insert
their base character. Add coverage for Alt text, Ctrl+Alt text,
separator text, Ctrl-only shortcuts, and Alt shortcuts.
While typing in the location bar, intermediate autocomplete updates
caused the highlighted suggestion to flicker.
These updates trigger on each keystroke and lead to unnecessary
selection changes.
Skip intermediate popup updates while it is visible and rely on final
results to update both suggestions and selection atomically.

Anchor the vertical tab sidebar to the full toolbar container height so
it starts below the bookmarks bar when that bar is visible. This keeps
the navigation toolbar and bookmarks bar unified, with the separator at
the content edge.
Update the sidebar geometry whenever the toolbar container resizes so
toggling the bookmarks bar moves the vertical tab chrome immediately.
When Return is pressed while the autocomplete popup is visible, submit
the location edit directly instead of falling through to QLineEdit's
default key handling after closing the popup. This keeps the omnibox
responsive to Return after chrome layout changes rebuild nearby widgets.
Make the autocomplete popup a native child widget on macOS so it can
receive mouse events while overlapping the native QRhiWidget web content
view. Keep it parented to the top-level browser widget so showing the
popup does not steal keyboard focus from the address bar.
Make hovering the location editor use the same fill and border as its
normal state in both light and dark mode. Focus still uses the focused
border, with a subtle focused fill retained for dark mode.
Use the normal light chrome surface for the focused location editor
background instead of reusing the hover fill. Dark mode keeps its
slightly distinct focused fill so the input remains readable there.
Bring horizontal tab cards one pixel closer together and make the
horizontal New Tab button a square with the same height as tabs.
Remove the layout gap between the tab bar and New Tab button so the
painted card gap matches the gap between adjacent tabs.
Use the same icon-only card-shaped New Tab button in horizontal tab mode
that collapsed vertical tabs use. This keeps the New Tab affordance in
the same visual language as the tab cards instead of using a standard
flat tool button.
Bring horizontal tab card visuals one pixel closer together by reducing
the painted card inset by half a pixel on each side. Keep vertical tab
geometry unchanged.
Vertical tab mode always keeps the toolbar in the full-width chrome row.
Remove the older split path that could place the toolbar in the page
column, and simplify the window-control visibility checks around that
single layout model.
Add fixed empty toolbar gaps on both sides of the location editor. This
slightly reduces the omnibox width and leaves reliable toolbar chrome
space next to it for window dragging.
Use the full-width toolbar layout for vertical tabs on every platform.
Also use the same collapsed vertical tabs width everywhere so collapsed
tab shapes remain square.
Make the vertical tab overlay column and resize handle native only on
macOS. This preserves stacking over native web views there without
breaking input routing on non-macOS platforms.
Do not clear the Qt window mask from the non-macOS corner update path.
The custom rounded-corner implementation is macOS-only, so the Linux
resize path should not touch native mask state on every resize event.
Also make dynamic property updates idempotent for tab chrome widgets.
Vertical tab resize and hover updates now only repolish when a property
actually changes, and avoid reapplying unchanged New Tab button text,
style, and size.
Declare the AppKit window-drag and window-control helpers only on
macOS. The implementation is already compiled only for Apple targets,
and call sites are guarded, so keep the header aligned with that
platform boundary.
