            Bug ID: 251426
           Summary: [GTK][WPE] Clarify the concept of a related web view
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk

The related web view was initially thought as a way to ensure a web view is created in the same web process of another web view. That's what the WebKitWebView:related-view documentation says. That's implies that both web views should use the same web context. In webkitWebViewConstructed() we ensure that in case of related web view we always use the same web context, ignoring the web-context passed as construction if any. But we do the same for network-session/is-ephemeral and is-controlled-by-automation. Then we have the constructor webkit_web_view_new_with_related_view() that in addition also passes the same settings, user-content-manager and website-policies. This is confusing, I think webkit_web_view_new_with_related_view() should only pass related-view to g_object_new(). Or maybe we should just remove webkit_web_view_new_with_related_view(), since it seems it's not actually used. Then clarify in the documentation that a related web view always shares the web-context, network-session/is-ephemeral and is-controlled-by-automation, and passing any of these together with related-view has no effect.
