Using the regular WebKit Inspector (non-Safari), it's not clear which settings are domain- or tab-specific or whether a setting, once set will persist and how.

For example, 'Emulate touch events' appears to be a global setting and persists across window/tab closing, across domains and even across browser relaunches, and is in effect when the inspector is open (mentioned in #93133). But the 'User Agent' setting does not survive though any of those conditions.

I am fairly certain that the 'User Agent' setting used to be domain-specific setting and persisted until certain browser data were cleared (I don't remember which). It and other inspector settings no longer persist and there's nothing to indicate that behaviour.
