• openExternal permission requests started by a frame that has since gone away are attributed to that frame's origin rather than to the navigating page. #​53699 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• pointerLock and keyboardLock permission requests now report the requesting frame, and execCommand('paste') requires user activation in the frame that calls it. #​53693 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
