Might it be useful to have inline capacity of 2 here?

These should probably be WeakPtr<WebProcessProxy>, maybe not in this patch.

Why not. I can take care of this in a follow-up.

Is subclassing here really necessary? I feel the code would be easier to follow if WebBackForwardCacheEntry was a concrete type and having a suspended page or not was just a state.

That !! seems unnecessary

My earlier iteration wasn’t using inheritance and I found it less clear. However, given your feedback, I will give it another shot and upload a patch so you can decide.

Felt nicer to compare Booleans.
