It causes layout issues in some websites, it doesn't really work with all GTK themes and it won't be possible with GTK4 because foreign drawing APIs have been removed. Instead we can use the new custom style used by WPE port, which is based on adwaita, but simplified to avoid the huge minimum control sizes, the usage of gradients and transparencies, etc. We can still use the GTK API to get the selection colors, to keep some consistency with the actual GTK theme, but that won't be possible with GTK4 either.
