 The above log message can be remotely triggered by websites and some
 people consider this a security issue: https://github.com/brave/brave-
 browser/issues/4629

 This has also been reported to our h1 bug bounty program.

 We should consider fixing this one particular instance, but I bet there is
 more of this lying around.
