Looks solid to me, but I wonder if we should add a link. That can happen in a later PR though, I'd first have to write said document. |

@felixrieseberg where should we link to? |
| const isRemoteModuleEnabledImpl = function (contents: electron.WebContents) { | ||
| const webPreferences = (contents as any).getLastWebPreferences() || {} | ||
| return !!webPreferences.enableRemoteModule | ||
| return webPreferences.enableRemoteModule != null ? !!webPreferences.enableRemoteModule : true |

I think the reason why the default was false is that devtools webContents don’t have webPreferences and the remote module should be disabled there

Hm, do you have suggestions for how we can detect devtools webcontents but also know whether remote module was explicitly enabled?

I can do this in a follow-up PR if I don’t forget
