Public bug reported:

It would be very interesting to have a way to conditionally enable
overscroll on the webview.

I’m thinking of the new design for webbrowser-app which requires the
webview to allow scrolling beyond the top of the page, to display a hint
that will trigger opening a new tab when released.

So ideally, the content would be displaced when overscrolling (if
overscrolling is enabled for the given edge) and the flickable-like API
(contentX/contentY) would reflect the overscroll value to allow
embedders to display additional content.

Note that in chrome on android, overscrolling doesn’t displace the
content (but instead shows a glow animation), so for added flexibility
we might want to make the displacement of the content optional. And we’d
probably want to enable controlling this setting per edge (i.e. allow
overscrolling that displaces the content on the top edge, and
overscrolling that doesn’t displace the content on the bottom edge).
