Details

It's been enabled by default for about 3 years now (bug 1648944).

It seems like other engines have not implemented this behavior yet

Do we want to keep the pref around until they do? Or do we think this area of the spec is stable enough that we could remove the pref now?

Kagami/Masayuki, what's your thought? Thanks.

FWIW, after this bug was filed, WebKit did implement this behavior.

Nice! I'd like to keep it a bit more until everyone (Blink) implements it without big webcompat issue, if Masayuki agrees. The WebKit change probably hasn't reached to the stable version yet I guess?

Yeah, it's safer to keep it until the other browsers ship it.
