--- Comment #4 from Carlos Garcia Campos <cgarcia at igalia.com> ---
My initial idea was to implicitly kill the web process if it's unresponsive when new load happens or on refresh, but now I'm more convinced that an explicit approach would be better. It might not be obvious for the user that a new load needs to happen, for example. In the case of a crash we don't have a web process anymore, so a new load is no different than the initial load. And we probably only want to kill the process if the user handled the signal, but it's a property notification so we don't really know what the user replied. If we decide to go with the explicit approach I would expose a method to kill the web view web process, I wouldn't expose process ids.
