Hi,
This patch adds a new variable for xwidget webkit that allows users to
disable javascript. Javascript is often used by websites for tracking,
advertisements, cookies and being obnoxious in general.
As I mostly use xwidget for viewing online documentation and simple
pages, disabling javascript is a very elegant solution to get rid of
everything obnoxious and browse with ease. I hope this patch can be
useful for people with the same use case as me where javascript is not
needed.

OK, so I've now installed the patch on the master branch, and I'm
closing this bug.
Noé, please look at the followup changes I made to fix some issues
with your original patch, and try to follow our conventions in the
future.
