            Bug ID: 167852
           Summary: [GTK] Missing feature "click-to-play" for plugins
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal

Unlike browsers like Firefox, WebKit based browsers lack a feature "click-to-activate" for plugins. This is an important lack due to its impact on usability and security. This issue was raised in GNOME's Bugzilla for component epiphany, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172652.

According to a developer of GNOME Web (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172652#c16), this issue cannot be dealt with inside GNOME Web but needs to be addressed in the WebKit backend.
