Wow, this is terrible. Either fix the bugs, introduce non-standard behavior for all sites, or expect these big players to fix their own problems.

They likely can’t. What happens when whatever quirk they used to isolate goes global and breaks workarounds on thousands of other sites they didn’t test? I mean, it’s awful that anything like this exists but it’s pretty likely well past any kind of turning back.

Given WebKit’s lineage I have to wonder if some portion of this was inherited from KHTML.
