I don't like this idea as a default. The default should be 'works
anywhere webkit works, with standard web compatibility options'.
CSRF and similar sucks, but hey, that's the web, this is a web
browser.

Thankfully for me, I suspect it may be very difficult to do this,
unless there's some webkit option. Delving into the surf source code
soon becomes an exercise in torture, as you see how little can be
done with webkit/libsoup etc. Its OK as a shim, though.
