Currently in WPEView.cpp there is a call to enable the option unconditionally, around line 64: if (preferences) { preferences->setAcceleratedCompositingEnabled(true); preferences->setForceCompositingMode(true); preferences->setThreadedScrollingEnabled(true); preferences->setWebGLEnabled(true); preferences->setDeveloperExtrasEnabled(true); } This should be disabled by default, and when needed users would opt-in with webkit_settings_set_enable_developer_extras(settings, TRUE) via the public API.
