I might be the only one with this point of view (and it explains the confusion 
since I added the code), but "Experimental" means exactly that: it isn't ready 
to be enabled by default. If it can be enabled by default, it isn't 
experimental.

Safari Technology Preview is meant to be used as a full-time browser. It has to 
be stable. Yes, it has features that haven't yet shipped in main Safari, but 
they should not be dangerous. The idea of the Experimental Features is that 
developers can easily choose to enable them, just like they do on other 
browsers.

I don't understand why we'd pick a different behaviour than Chrome, Firefox, 
etc in this case. Developers understand this situation.
