The goal here is to reduce the amount of WebContent client APIs that are
duplicated across every ViewImplementation. Across our three browsers,
we currently:
Ladybird - Mix some AK::Function callbacks and Qt signals to notify
tabs of WebContent events.
Browser - Use only AK::Function callbacks.
headless-browser - Drop most events on the floor.
Instead, let's only use AK::Function callbacks across all three browsers
to propagate events to tabs. This allows us to invoke those callbacks
directly from LibWebView instead of all three browsers needing to define
a trivial `if (callback) callback();` override of a LibWebView virtual
function. For headless-browser, we can simply not set these callbacks.
As a first pass, this only converts WebContent events that are trivial
to this approach. That is, events that were simply passed onto the tab
or handled without much fuss.
Ladybird
Ladybird is a web browser built on the LibWeb and LibJS engines from SerenityOS with a cross-platform GUI in Qt.
