It's possible to enforce hardware acceleration to be always enabled by using `WEBKIT_HARDWARE_ACCELERATION_POLICY_ALWAYS`. And it's also possible to disable it completely using `WEBKIT_HARDWARE_ACCELERATION_POLICY_NEVER`. Note that disabling hardware acceleration might cause some websites to not render correctly or consume more CPU.

Note that changing this setting might not be possible if hardware acceleration is not supported by the hardware or the system. In that case you can get the value to know the actual policy being used, but changing the setting will not have any effect.

      “user-agent”               gchar *

The user-agent string used by WebKit. Unusual user-agent strings may cause web content to render incorrectly or fail to run, as many web pages are written to parse the user-agent strings of only the most popular browsers. Therefore, it's typically better to not completely override the standard user-agent, but to use `webkit_settings_set_user_agent_with_application_details()` instead.
