Should this be std::exchange(m_isContinuingLoadAfterResponsePolicyCheck, false)?

May as well use a RefPtr here.

Can we keep all the parameters on one line?

Why is this needed now but wasn't before?

Is this only needed on iOS?  Could we only do it on iOS if it is?
setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomaticallyIfNecessary(webViewConfiguration)

I don't understand this comment.

I doesn't hurt. I will make the change.

OK

Not new but OK.

I'll double check if this is still needed. It might be a reminiscence of an earlier iteration. Basically, the issue is that we need a NavigationAction object to do process-swapping. We have the same logic in decidePolicyForNavigationAction, for the same reason.

Yes, only iOS requires it but I didn't feel adding #ifdefs was worth it?

Oops, looks like a bad copy/paste. Will drop.

From our API:
/*! @abstract A Boolean value indicating whether JavaScript can open
 windows without user interaction.
 @discussion The default value is NO in iOS and YES in OS X.
 */
@property (nonatomic) BOOL javaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically;

So this is the reason we need to set it to YES only on iOS: It is already YES on macOS by default. Therefore, it doesn't hurt to set it to YES no matter what.

I think the imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/IndexedDB/serialize-sharedarraybuffer-throws.https.html flakiness may be a regression from this patch. I'll investigate.

All reviewed patches have been landed. Closing bug and clearing flags on attachment 436319 [details].

imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/IndexedDB/serialize-sharedarraybuffer-throws.https.html still shows up as a flaky test on EWS. I will create a new bug for this.
