Bug 122766 – Safari: Do not track feature will always create a script controller for all iframes

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Page Loading

[Alexandru Chiculita]

While debugging a test in the inspector-protocol I found that the script controller is always created in Safari. The test runner is not creating the script controller, so it has different behavior. A little bit of debugging showed the following stack. It seems like the do not track feature in Safari will always force the creation of the script controller.

I guess that avoiding the script controller as long as you don't have any scripts is a good optimization. At least applications that need no scripting and just use webkit to show up HTML/CSS content can avoid a little bit of memory overhead.

I've logged another bug in the new web inspector: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122764. The web inspector happens to use this side effect to show the iframes in the console & resource panel. Without this extension the iframes with no "script" tags will not show up in the WebInspector at all.

Safari has a few features that execute scripts like AutoFill and apparently do-not-track. Thanks for the feedback, but this isn't something we would fix in WebKit. So marking this as invalid.
