The feature is still there if you just use the right version of
WebKitGTK.  Not ideal, but there *is* a work-around.

FWIW, I see no reason to start disabling features on non-free operating
systems due to bugs on free ones.  It's better to just make sure any
bugs are fixed, and move on with our lives.

BTW, I didn't see mentioned anywhere in this thread if this bug was
reported to the WebKitGTK maintainers?
