[Qtwebengine] Sharing data between QWebEngineProfiles

[Florian Bruhin]

Hi,

I (from qutebrowser[1]) and Emdek (from Otter Browser[2]) discussed
what's still missing for us from QtWebEngine, and one point which came
up and wasn't discussed already is sharing data between multiple
QWebEngineProfiles.

Our use-case is to have per-domain and possibly per-tab settings, e.g.
the user want to configure the user-agent differently based on the
page they're visiting.

This means you'll end up with having a new QWebEngineProfile for every
tab - however, that also means every tab will have its own persistent
storage, cookie store, and cache - right?

Is it possible/planned to share data between QWebEngineProfiles so one
can implement this kind of thing?

I guess one possibility is to use the same storageName for all of them
- but will that work?

Florian
