Ah, I thought upstream it was effectively dead. Glad to hear it isn't.

I wish people would stop with the feature retreat in galeon. :) Galeon
at one stage hit a serious feature retreat, and then there was no
development for a long time as the then-maintainer and the other
developers/users had a *huge* flame over features. This resulted in the
maintainer forking Galeon and creating Epiphany. Galeon nearly died,
but the developers eventually got back together and are working on
making galeon a good web browser with lots of *sane* configuration
options. Galeon has been steadily gaining options since then.
If there is an option you, file a wishlist bug upstream, or talk to the
developers about it.
