This feature is supported by Chromium (and Edge) for a while now, but it's still missing in WebView2

Same request^. Having the right things exposed from WebView2 will significantly improve the UI for my app too!

No, it's for building applications with pretty much WebView2 only, like Electron but with the WebView provided by the OS

Hi Tochukwu Ibe-Ekeocha (@tochukwuIbeEkeocha) is this similar to the work that you are already doing on WCO?

Hello, yes I am currently working on adding this feature to Webview2.
victorhuangwq commentedon May 6, 2024
Okay Tony (@Legend-Master) we will track this issue in our backlog. At the same time, as Tochukwu Ibe-Ekeocha (@tochukwuIbeEkeocha) has pointed out, he has already been working on it.
We will provide any further updates using this thread.
