------------------------------

# Description:

Ok, that's weird. This webpage[1] (the whole website, actually) makes the tab to crash(?) and, wait for it, Chromium to be launched(!). See video as attachment for visual proof.

[1]: https://www.letras.mus.br/dead-fish/675366/

# Versions:

Fedora 25 Beta
epiphany 3.22.1-1
webkitgtk4 2.14.1-2
kernel 4.8.6-300
mesa 12.0.3-3
xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.19.0-0.7.rc2
xorg-x11-drv-intel 2.99.917-26.20160929

# Web non-default configs:

Enable plugins --> OFF
Remember passwords --> OFF
~/.config/epiphany/adblock/filters.list --> "https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt;https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt"

# More

Always happens.
Happens in both Wayland and X sessions.
GPU is a G33, from a Pentium E5700 CPU.
Does not produce an ABRT thing, I don't know why.

Yes.

> (is Chromium your default browser?)

No. Web is the default.

------------------------------

I tried to:

- Delete...
~/.cache/epiphany
~/.config/epiphany
~/.local/share/epiphany
~/.cache/webkitgtk
~/.local/share/webkitgtk

- and reset everything inside 'org.gnome.epiphany' in 'dconf-editor',

- and uninstall Chromium.

The thing still happens, however. Best hint I could find is this dialog from a "windowless" Files in a X session (see image in attachments).
