Bug Description
In Ubuntu Touch, the web browser tab indicator overlays the content of the web page being displayed and it makes some content on the page inaccessible. For example: a website's footer links. For optimal web browser usability, the web page content should not be obstructed.

UX Comment:
We have a common behaviour for hiding the bottom edge when scrolling begins up-ward begins.
I would recommend we apply the same behaviour to over-scrolling upward on pages that are vertically small enough to not require scrolling.
In cases like the one described in this bug report, the user is highly likely to attempt to scroll the page upward in order to see the footer links occluded by the bottom-edge hint, which would cause the hint to become hidden.

Note that the oxide webview doesn’t do overscrolling. Bug #1415952 tracks adding that feature.
