Detailed Description▲
QWebEngineSettings allows configuration of browser properties, such as font sizes and families, the location of a custom style sheet, and generic attributes, such as JavaScript support. Individual attributes are set using the setAttribute() function. The WebAttribute enum further describes each attribute.
Each QWebEnginePage object has its own QWebEngineSettings object, which configures the settings for that page. If a setting is not configured for a web engine page, it is looked up in the settings of the profile the page belongs to.

enum QWebEngineSettings::WebAttribute▲
This enum type specifies settings for web pages:
|
Constant |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
QWebEngineSettings::AutoLoadImages |
0 |
Automatically dowloads images for web pages. When this setting is disabled, images are loaded from the cache. Enabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::JavascriptEnabled |
1 |
Enables the running of JavaScript programs in the MainWorld. Enabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::JavascriptCanOpenWindows |
2 |
Allows JavaScript programs to open popup windows without user interaction. Enabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::JavascriptCanAccessClipboard |
3 |
Allows JavaScript programs to read from and write to the clipboard. Writing to the clipboard is always allowed if it is specifically requested by the user. See JavascriptCanPaste to also allow pasting the content of the clipboard content from JavaScript. Disabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::LinksIncludedInFocusChain |
4 |
Includes hyperlinks in the keyboard focus chain. Enabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::LocalStorageEnabled |
5 |
Enables support for the HTML 5 local storage feature. Enabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::LocalContentCanAccessRemoteUrls |
6 |
Allows local origin documents to access remote resources that would normally be blocked. Disabled by default. Note DnsPrefetchEnabled below operates independently of this setting, and can if enabled, cause remote accesses from local content. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::XSSAuditingEnabled |
7 |
Obsolete and has no effect. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::SpatialNavigationEnabled |
8 |
Enables the Spatial Navigation feature, which means the ability to navigate between focusable elements, such as hyperlinks and form controls, on a web page by using the Left, Right, Up and Down arrow keys. For example, if a user presses the Right key, heuristics determine whether there is an element they might be trying to reach towards the right and which element they probably want. Disabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::LocalContentCanAccessFileUrls |
9 |
Allows locally loaded documents to access other local URLs. Disabling this makes QtWebEngine behave more like Chrome and Firefox does by default. Enabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::HyperlinkAuditingEnabled |
10 |
Enables support for the ping attribute for hyperlinks. Disabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::ScrollAnimatorEnabled |
11 |
Enables animated scrolling. Disabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::ErrorPageEnabled |
12 |
Enables displaying the built-in error pages of Chromium. Enabled by default. |
|
QWebEngineSettings::PluginsEnabled |
13 |
Enables support for Pepper plugins, such as the Flash player. Disabled by default. See also Pepper Plugin API. (Added in Qt 5.6) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::FullScreenSupportEnabled |
14 |
Enables fullscreen support in an application. Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.6) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::ScreenCaptureEnabled |
15 |
Enables screen capture in an application. Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.7) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::WebGLEnabled |
16 |
Enables support for HTML 5 WebGL. Enabled by default if available. (Added in Qt 5.7) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::Accelerated2dCanvasEnabled |
17 |
Specifies whether the HTML5 2D canvas should be a OpenGL framebuffer. This makes many painting operations faster, but slows down pixel access. Enabled by default if available. (Added in Qt 5.7) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::AutoLoadIconsForPage |
18 |
Automatically downloads icons for web pages. Enabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.7) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::TouchIconsEnabled |
19 |
Enables support for touch icons and precomposed touch icons Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.7) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::FocusOnNavigationEnabled |
20 |
Gives focus to the view associated with the page, whenever a navigation operation occurs (load, stop, reload, reload and bypass cache, forward, backward, set content, and so on). Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.8) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::PrintElementBackgrounds |
21 |
Turns on printing of CSS backgrounds when printing a web page. Enabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.8) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::AllowRunningInsecureContent |
22 |
By default, HTTPS pages cannot run JavaScript, CSS, plugins or web-sockets from HTTP URLs. This provides an override to get the old insecure behavior. Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.8) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::AllowGeolocationOnInsecureOrigins |
23 |
Since Qt 5.7, only secure origins such as HTTPS have been able to request Geolocation features. This provides an override to allow non secure origins to access Geolocation again. Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.9) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::AllowWindowActivationFromJavaScript |
24 |
Allows activating windows by using the window.focus() JavaScript method. Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.10) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::ShowScrollBars |
25 |
Shows scroll bars. Enabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.10) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::PlaybackRequiresUserGesture |
26 |
Inhibits playback of media content until the user interacts with the page. By default, WebEngine uses Chromium settings, as described in Autoplay Policy Changes. This is similar to how Chrome on Android behaves, while the default behavior when it is disabled is similar to Chrome on desktops. To overwrite the default behavior, disable this setting. (Added in Qt 5.11) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::JavascriptCanPaste |
28 |
Enables JavaScript execCommand("paste"). This also requires enabling JavascriptCanAccessClipboard. Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.11) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::WebRTCPublicInterfacesOnly |
27 |
Limits WebRTC to public IP addresses only. When disabled WebRTC may also use local network IP addresses, but remote hosts can also see your local network IP address. Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.11) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::DnsPrefetchEnabled |
29 |
Specifies whether WebEngine will try to pre-fetch DNS entries to speed up browsing. Disabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.12) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::PdfViewerEnabled |
30 |
Specifies that PDF documents will be opened in the internal PDF viewer instead of being downloaded. Enabled by default. (Added in Qt 5.13) |
|
QWebEngineSettings::NavigateOnDropEnabled |
31 |
Specifies that navigations can be triggered by dropping URLs on the view. Enabled by default. (Added in Qt 6.4) |
