      On Windows with the WebView2 backend, JavaScript window.show() calls and HTML <a target="_blank"> links both trigger a new window to open and show the desired content. However, these windows are entirely controlled by the system, and don't even close when the spawning process has been killed.

      A QWebView API for handling new window requests is planned, but until then we should block new windows entirely to stay consistent.
