It's not true that this is a user preference in Safari. It is a WebKit preference indeed, but it's not exposed to users in Safari UI.

Adding a method in API to toggle something that you know is always bad is a rather strange thing to do. API methods are a permanent liability - you can't take it out once you add it.

But anyway, I'm not stopping anyone here. I'm certainly not in position for making API decisions for Gtk.
