GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 776197
epiphany has slowness and crashes on Intel NUC
Last modified: 2016-12-17 20:06:55 UTC
I didn't find Epiphany to be usable until I installed Fedora 24 on my computer at work with a Radeon graphics card. It really runs well there and I use it for my main browser. However, Epiphany still doesn't run will on the NUC6I5SYK that I have at home. It sometimes has long slowdowns when loading pages. It also crashes often.
Thanks for taking the time to report this. This issue is most likely a bug in WebKit. Please report the bug to https://bugs.webkit.org/ including a link to this bug report and noting the version of WebKitGTK+ that you have installed. When reporting the WebKit bug, be sure to include the prefix '[GTK]' in the bug summary and select the 'WebKit Gtk' component.
When reporting the WebKit bug, please include in your bug report the full output of the 'glxinfo' command. Thanks!
Also, try running Epiphany with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment. Mention in the WebKit bug report if that works around the issue.
