Comment on attachment 165122 [details] Patch View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=165122&action=review > Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/gtk/WebKitWebView.cpp:1141 > + webkitWebViewUpdateURI(webView); Maybe it's worth mentioning in the doc that when notify::is-loading is fired you can already get the URI that will be loaded through the get_uri API, even if notify::uri has not happened (seems to me that will be a common thing to do).
