André, what options do we have to mitigate this?

As you correctly stated, this is, unfortunately, a common(ly wrong) pattern. But it looks like we're the first (and only?) browser shipping this, as [Chrome hasn't even assigned someone yet](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1495135). We can't be the first to break the web like this - users will use "it works in Chrome" as a reason to switch browsers, and site/library authors will use "it works in Chrome" as a reason to de-prioritize our outreach attempts. I also wouldn't be surprised if, just like last time, Chrome also reverts to find an in-engine workaround here.. :/
