Not long ago I helped one of the persons working on the Nyxt browser [1] who had some idea about how to solve this. It involved adding calls to a Cocoa function that would prevent the additional entries in the dock and task switcher for the WebKitWebProcess instances launched for each tab. If you clone their MacPorts repository [2] with Git, there seems to be some patches for that. I don't know if there is some better way of achieving the same, but it would be nice if we could have a patch for this in the upstream repository—it would be great to have a maintainer taking care of keeping WebKitGTK working on MacOS, and I am sure that some of us would be glad to provide guidance and help out if someone would step up :-) I hope this helps, —Adrián --- [1] https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/ [2] https://source.atlas.engineer/view/repository/macports-port
