            Bug ID: 274256
           Summary: [WPE][GTK] Enable fatal criticals in MiniBrowser
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at redhat.com
                CC: bugs-noreply at webkitgtk.org

Critical warnings should only be used to indicate programmer error. By default, they are "soft assertions" that allow program execution to continue even though we know the process is no longer operating correctly because a bug has occurred. This is a bad default. Let's crash instead, to make it easier to debug the problem, encourage bug reports, and downgrade any code execution issues into denial of service.

We cannot make this decision for applications that use WebKit, but we can do it for MiniBrowser.
