Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2012-01-17 11:38:12 PST
A plug-in cannot know if it's running in a process that would tolerate entering sandbox. Let's tell it (a Mac only experiment for now).

Shouldn't this be true only when running in the plug-in process? (Not that it really matters since we don't support in-process plug-ins with WebKit2).

Yes, this is why I made it always return true. Was there a better way to write this?

This has been landed long ago in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/105323>.
