Thing is, that's no longer a good default. For GNOME 3.38 I think we have almost all applications using sandboxed WebKit. At least Epiphany, Evolution, Maps, devhelp, and captive portal helper. Hm, we might be missing gnome-online-accounts... I'll talk to rishi about that. Point is that MiniBrowser by default is no longer testing what users are actually getting, making it less useful for verifying whether a bug is an Ephy issue or a WebKit issue, for example.

A CLI flag would be good, of course, but I would vote to have it disable the sandbox rather than enable it.
