    <thetext>Per discussion on the bug 50636, we should get rid of -webkit-user-modify property.  Editability can instead be solely determined by the DOM property.</thetext>

    <thetext>I had a discussion with Enrica, Ojan, &amp; Tony about this, and I think we want to get some statistics on how many websites use this property. In addition, I&apos;ve asked Enrica to check if there are any significant users of this property in Apple products and OS X apps.

It&apos;d be great to deprecate this property in the future.</thetext>

    <thetext>I think this Chrome use counter is relevant:

WebKitUserModifyEffective 0.63% https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/2630

However, as far as I can tell from the code in https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/renderer/core/dom/element.cc;l=274?q=webkitusermodifyeffective&amp;ss=chromium&amp;start=31 this includes usage of the contenteditable attribute.

wpt test that checks that -webkit-user-modify is not supported was added in https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/35471

In addition, the following spec PRs specify the HTML contenteditable=&quot;plaintext-only&quot; which is supported in WebKit and Chromium:
