So you want to have one network process per UI process, matching Apple's process model? I think that would be fine. We would then want to switch to one NetworkSession per WebKitWebContext/WebProcessPool instead of using the default NetworkSession; otherwise, separate instances of WebKit could clash with each other.

Sounds much better than the status quo.

I like this proposal. It makes more sense than what we have now.

I think we can keep WebKitWebView:is-ephemeral and just make it read-only.
