[Desktop] Enable ScrollToTextFragment

[Inesicen]

Make ScrollToTextFragment optional for those who accept the alleged/dubious privacy implications and want to use the feature anyway.

Marking this as wontfix as we don't plan on doing any work here including surfacing UI for it. This looks like a good candidate as an extension for those who want it.

It's really disappointing that this is the stance Brave has on this issue. Removing useful features with not even a flag to enable them is not something I can stand by myself.

Also just to add you can't install extensions on Brave Android so it seems if this is the stance Brave has on the issue Android users will never see this feature.

There are hundreds of useful flags in brave://flags/ and this one in particular is a good example of something that should be handled by the browser where it's safe. No one wants this moved to a third party extension that would need a blanket approval of permission to read and change every page you visit. It's a security hazard waiting to happen.

You might want to make this upstream feature opt-in rather than removing it altogether. If the concern is recording the page jump, an interesting compromise might be to do mark the text, but don't jump to the text.

Please reconsider @rebron
