What's new in this version:

Changes/fixes:
- Introduced the "ghostbuster" concept; this is an automated internal mechanism to attempt cleanup of particularly problematic web content after a tab or window is closed. See implementation notes.
- Added support for the PROT_MPROTECT security feature on targets that use it (notably PaX and NetBSD)
- Implemented preferences to give the user control over the Same-Origin Policy (SOP) and CORS preflight. See implementation notes
- Improved buildability on NetBSD and Altivec architectures
- Fixed building issues on Apple Silicon Mac with XCode 16
- Added workarounds for non-standard MSE/WebM/VPx encoding on YouTube that could cause video buffering and halting issues
- Dev: Changed the default credentials mode for module scripts from 'omit' to 'same-origin', aligning with mainstream
- Dev: Implemented getTransform and setTransform with DOMMatrix arguments
- Dev: Implemented ES2023 Hashbang grammar proposal
- Fixed an issue with JavaScript's StructuredClone
- Rejected: CVE-2024-9398 (properly informing the user about attempts to use unhandled protocols by web pages is considered more important than potential determination whether a handler for such a protocol is installed)
