I'm not sure why this is needed. We hardly ever prefix the timeout functions.

Stray?

We normally drop 'this' in the phrase "the Web Inspector". You wouldn't say "the Xcode" or "the Safari".

Most code that uses page->inspector() includes a nullptr check. We should do that here as well. If the WebPage is closed / invalid then inspector() would be nullptr. Unless there is some other way that this would be avoided.
