Here's the situation on i686. Be sure to test on i686, not amd64, where
it works fine.
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:
Installed: 2.23.91-1
epiphany-browser:
Installed: 3.31.91-2
$ mkdir /tmp/p; HOME=/tmp/p epiphany-browser
You'll see it just shows it is loading about:overview, and it just loops over
and over with:
** (epiphany:3475): WARNING **: 05:59:49.922: Web process crashed
(WebKitWebProcess:3679): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 05:59:50.666:
../../../gobject/gtype.c:4265: type id '0' is invalid
(WebKitWebProcess:3679): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 05:59:50.682: can't peek
value table for type '<invalid>' which is not currently referenced
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser works fine though. It
can even browse web pages and files.
strace shows the loop is at
futex(0x14656c0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {tv_sec=5717, tv_nsec=613493764}) = 0
futex(0x143c9ec, FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET_PRIVATE|FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, 0,
{tv_sec=1551478070, tv_nsec=762190103}...
Anyway please fix "gtype.c:4265: type id '0' is invalid". Thank you.
