Hoping this fixes EWS test bots.

Do we need to set any values here, rather than just returning false? E.g., should we make sure the WebViewCategory be set to 'AppBound' here?

> Source/WebKit/WebProcess/WebPage/WebPage.cpp:7106
> +        m_navigationHasOccured = true;

Since we always set this if it's false, and we always set it to true (no matter what), it's probably better to just set it to true here (without the test first)

> Source/WebKit/WebProcess/WebPage/WebPage.cpp:7116

This method name sounds like we are asking the page if we should enable In-App Browser Privacy. But we also always send a message to the UIProcess indicating we did something app-bound. I worry that could be confusing to someone reading the code who doesn't expect this side-effect.

Should the message send be done as a separate step?

What does it mean if the answer to 'should allow' is NO. Don't we avoid doing the app-bound thing? So does it make sense to tell the UIProcess that we did some kind of app-bound behavior?

Since reaching this code means m_limitsNavigationsToAppBoundDomains was not set, I don't think we should set this to be app-bound. The flag should still probably have to be set to trigger app-bound privileges.

Yes, will change!

I see what you are saying. Do you mean a separate function that is called at each site in addition to shouldEnableInAppBrowserPrivacyProtections(), or do you mean a separate function within this function?

Yes, you're right. If shouldEnable is true, we definitely shouldn't send the message because it means the behavior was not allowed. Good catch!

I think it would be clearer if we only sent the message when we were actually doing something app-bound. So I propose we have a second method that just does the message send (if needed), and call it when we use one of the app-bound powers.

can this be const?

{ WTF::nullopt } is unnecessary.

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/WebPageProxy.h:2815
> +    Optional<NavigatingToAppBoundDomain> m_isNavigatingToAppBoundDomain { WTF::nullopt };

{ WTF::nullopt } is unnecessary.

> Source/WebKit/WebProcess/WebPage/WebPage.h:2106
> +    Optional<NavigatingToAppBoundDomain> m_isNavigatingToAppBoundDomain { WTF::nullopt };

{ WTF::nullopt } is unnecessary.
