Since upgrading to 2.28.0-2,
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess
polls like mad and causes excessive wakeups, draining my laptop battery:

I originally thought this is a regression since 2.26.4-1~deb10u2, as that
works just fine:

But it turns out visiting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF#/media/File:Rotating_earth_(large).gif using
surf and webkit 2.26.4-1~deb10u2 makes its WebKitWebProcess start polling like
crazy as well, and forever, even after switching to about:blank.
I went a bit further, found a probable cause and filed this upstream at
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210561 as I'm quite certain this is
affecting all distributions that use webgit2gtk.
