In process debugging is horribly broken for WK1. We should remove it to avoid getting weird bug reports from legacy clients. The remote debugger is a solution that works and they can use.

I think this will pose a problem for a number of existing WebKit1 clients, including teams like Electronic Arts that use the WK1 model. Rather than throwing this away, are there bugs that could be addressed, perhaps even by Open Source contributors?

Mac and Apple Windows are the only ports affected. All other ports use the Inspector over a remote connection, not in process. The issues involve Promises not being fulfilled in the Inspector when passed in the inspected page. Something we don't need to worry about in WebKit2. But Windows is something I had not considered. I will follow up offline about that.
