Not sure if this is worth it, but I've burned time trying to figure out why I can't flip the remoteness of a browser. It turned out that the browser had some CSS styling on it that made it display:none. This meant that it wasn't given a frameloader after flipping the remote attribute. I could have saved a bunch of time if updateBrowserRemoteness did such a check before attempting to flip remoteness, and throwing because the browser is not visible. This is low-priority. More of a footgun guard than anything.
