    I think this super.onBackPressed() in onBackPressed causes immediate exit:

    override fun onBackPressed() {
    if (binding.drawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        binding.drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START)
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed()
    }
}

    In stead of just a bare super.onBackPressed(), check if WebView#canGoBack. If yes, WebView#goBack. If not, show Snackbar to confirm to close. In below example, webView is the WebView instance (it may be binding.appBarHome.contentMain.webView in your code):

        } else {
        if (webView.canGoBack()) {
            webView.goBack()
        } else {
            Snackbar.make(
                findViewById(android.R.id.content),
                "Are you sure to close?",
                Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG
            ).setAction("close") { super.onBackPressed() }.show()
        }
    }

    The recommended way these days is to add a callback to the OnBackPressedDispatcher. You can add a bunch of these to create a hierarchy of handlers, so you can have one that checks if you’ll lose unsaved data, one that checks if you’re about to back out of the app, etc. (One of the examples they give is for handling WebView back navigation)

    The callbacks are prioritised by the order they were added, most-recent first, and you can enable and disable them to "turn them on and off" and allow a lower-priority callback to handle the back press. If none are added/enabled, it just does the usual onBackPressed handling.

    You’d have to interface with your WebView and coordinate telling it to go back through the history, and having it tell your Fragment/Activity that it has no more pages to back through (so you can show a warning dialog), but I guess you want something like this:

    class HomeActivity : AppCompatActivity(), NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {

    lateinit var backPressedCallback: OnBackPressedCallback

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        ...
        backPressedCallback = onBackPressedDispatcher.addCallback(this) {
            callWebViewBack()
        }
    }
    ...

    fun callWebViewBack() {
        // send a "Back" message to your webview
    }

    fun onWebViewBackedOut() {
        // this is a terrible name, but when your webview gets the "Back" message
        // but it has no more history to back through, it needs to call this function
        // so the Activity can display the confirmation dialog here
        showExitConfirmationDialog()
    }

    // when you handle the result from your dialog, you can call this to disable
    // the handler that tells the webview to go back, then send the back button event
    // (which will invoke the next callback in the chain, handling something else,
    // if you've added one, otherwise it'll do the usual back button behaviour)
    fun exitWebView() {
        backPressedCallback.disable()
        onBackPressed()
    }
}
