Even if webkit does not consider a settings.ini file, if present, badwolf (same is true for midori, surf, uzbl, eolie, xombrero, otterBrowser, et al webkit-powered browsers) can declare values for myriad webkit settings.

As is, in its current state badwolf declares only a few of these.
For all the non-declared settings, the implicit/default webkit value is applied.

FWIW, with an eye toward privacy, beginning with “enable-hyperlink-auditing” I would choose to override many of the implicit default values.
