Summary Perform default Web browser check in the UI process
Per Arne Vollan
Reported 2021-02-26 05:58:02 PST
Performing the default Web browser check in the UI process and passing the information on to each WebProcess is a slight performance speedup, since the check only needs to be done once in the UI process, instead of once in every WebContent process.

I'm not sure we want to do this, because it would allow a malicious application to pass an incorrect flag in the message opening up access to sensitive features we don't trust outside of a web browser.
