Performance significantly slower than that of epiphany from flatpak (gnome nightly) #92

What Happened?

GNOME Web from eOS 7 is very slow and doesn't even load github at all. the one from gnome nightly takes some time to load, but it's not as bad*

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Get eOS 7 on good hardware & good internet connection
  2. Open GNOME Web. Try to login to github.
  3. You will notice it wont load until you resize the window. even after that, its unusable.
  4. Get the flatpak source from gnome nightly: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo
  5. flatpak install gnome-nightly org.gnome.Epiphany.Devel and flatpak run org.gnome.Epiphany.Devel//master
  6. You can at least browse github and login succesfully

Expected Behavior

GNOME Web on eOS7 should auto update to latest stable (?)

OS Version

7.x (Horus)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Log Output

No response

Hardware Info

I'm on generic drivers (Ryzen 7 2700X, 5500XT), other than that everything is ok :) no other app shows glitches/freezes.

Edit: workaround by adding window.clipboard = {}; on Gnome web custom JS file.

We're already working on it. Please be patient. It just came out last week :)

Oh, no worries! What's the issue? Didn't intend to sound like a jerk or anything like that. I can give a hand if you need it, though I have work for elementary/music.

danirabbit commented 1 year ago

Requires some platform updates. Should be out in the next couple days.

Calling people's projects "shit" is probably something you should stop doing then

What? Oh, I didn't even notice. Sorry about that!! Edit: workaround by adding window.clipboard = {}; on Gnome web custom JS file.

So we discovered earlier today that you're still shipping WebKitGTK 2.38.1, so it seems you're just not updating WebKitGTK at all. You do not need to update to Epiphany to fix github.com. Just updating WebKitGTK 2.40.0 will suffice.

@mcatanzaro we have a platform build queued that includes newer WebKit already, so we're fixing both at the same time

Also, my GNOME gitlab account got deleted during the spam purge and when I tried to recreate it, it was automatically deleted again. So I'm not getting pings there sorry

You're not currently deleted. Maybe the somebody noticed and restored the account? Dunno what happened there.

Closing because I'm able to browse GitHub now
