#171398 — Epiphany browser very slow

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Dear All,

I'm using epiphany browser fro long time and was generally happy despite some
missing features.
However since few weeks it become very slowly and almost non usable. Browsing
sites like http://ddg.gg became so painful that I start hating it.
Other sites also, like google+, which have forms to fill are slow.

I tried searching for this issue and did not find any report. Can anyone try
with a "testing" machine and let me know. I'm using amd64 machine.

PS: Please copy me as I'm not subscribed.

But I haven't used it for months (only about two minutes), so if there's
some sort of slow cruft build-up, that could be relevant.

Hi Kent,

Thanks for testing. On my side I have:
# aptitude show epiphany-browser
Package: epiphany-browser                
Version: 3.20.3-2
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Priority: optional
Section: gnome
Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers <pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Uncompressed Size: 2,116 k
...

The program pops up quickly, but if you try to type anything inside the input
box of ddg.gg it will be terribly slow entering characters. I feel like 1
character per 5 seconds or more. Generally characters are buffered and after
half a minute you end with your search message there but this is quite unusable.

I'm using epiphany as main browser, so may be data cache or something related.

westk@westkent:~$ aptitude show epiphany-browser
Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 3.20.3-2
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Priority: optional
Section: gnome
Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers <
pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Uncompressed Size: 2,116 k

No noticeable slowness on my machine, either in starting the browser, or in
using it. ddg.gg fills in the search field as fast as I can type, and pulls
up the result quickly.

So You have the very same version as me but youdon't experience the same issues.

I've tried removing whatever configuration for both epiphany and webkit but
still have it.
I've even tried an other account but still experience the issue.


I think I'm going to open a RC bug as I consider the package is no more usable.

Does anyone have any suggestion that I can try before opening the bug?

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi All,

OK this got fixed now with tonight update. I can see some gir1.2-webkit2-
4.0, gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-4.0, libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37, libjavascriptcoregtk-
4.0-18 updated, but I don't feel checking one by one which is the responsible.

Thanks Kent for answering my previous mails and good luck for all the others.
