Yeah. I've seen it. Even though it's supposed to be disabled for
Firefox. I'm waiting eagerly for this pull request to get merged so we
can end this farce:

Seems like Andrei is dragging his feet over a fetish that only he cares
about. Personally, I find hyphenation as a hindrance to readability,
unless I'm reading a newspaper column. Maybe it's useful for mobile, but
not if it degrades speed or does crap like flashing the page.
By the way, the worst idea I've seen is to do hyphenation statically on
the server side. How does the server know in advance how wide my browser
window is or the text size? It can't. It's the client's job to flow the
text.
