DevTools enhances webview based browsing security

According to the article :

While WebView browsers utilize the Chromium WebView, they cannot offer any per-site process isolation.
Using any WebView-based browser is largely not recommended as they are inherently limited due to the WebView merely being a widget for adding web content to an app and are not intended to create a full browser experience.

I'm a Privacy Browser user & according to one of the dev's blog post, one can enable the following Webview DevTools flags & achieve the same level of site isolation. Not just that, the other security enhancements such as:

  1. site-per-process
  2. WebViewXRequestedWithHeaderControl
  3. PartitionedCookies
  4. ThirdPartyStoragePartitioning

Although these are experimental flags, they work without any issues (at least for me).

I hope you mention these enhancements in the webview browsing section in your blog post https://divestos.org/pages/browsers#webview
