AFAIK both webkitgtk and ns webkit both follow the same API from the
core webkit project. Thus if plugins are deprecated in webkitgtk, so
too are they deprecated in ns webkit (see
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkpreferences/1536894-pluginsenabled?language=objc
for confirmation). I think these plugins were things like flash or
java applets, support for which has been removed from all major
browsers due to security and performance issues along with better
alternatives.
