I fixed the Webview Crashed issue, it was a missing dependency

I installed the package with dnf install vimb but it seems it didn't install the required libglvnd-gles library (GLES support for libglvnd).

This fixed opening https://about.gitlab.com and also fixed opening the "More information" link now which shows:

So it might not be a bug in the browser, but Cloudflare blocking browsers they don't support...

I still see the following when I try to open the sign in page:

(vimb:240265): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 14:31:58.102: gdk_x11_window_get_xid: assertion 'GDK_IS_X11_WINDOW (window)' failed

I'm using Wayland here, but I do have Xwayland.

You have to add GDK_BACKEND=x11 if you want to use Xwayland like this

command line: GDK_BACKEND=x11 vimb

.desktop file: env GDK_BACKEND=x11 vimb %U

I tried that but still didn't work. Setting GDK_BACKEND=x11 does get rid of that Gdk-CRITICAL warning from the logs, but the website still won't work. It seems the two things aren't related.

Here is the same in qutebrowser

What version of webkit2gtk are you using? The page works fine for me with webkit2gtk-2.42.5.

Also try setting user agent like this (in config file): set user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/16.0 Safari/605.1.15

It seems, that I have the same version as you do.

(fedora-toolbox-39) ➜  ~ rpm -qa | grep -i webkit
webkit2gtk4.0-2.42.5-1.fc39.x86_64

Also try setting user agent like this (in config file): set user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/16.0 Safari/605.1.15

@dinkocar thank you! this was it. should've thought about this before

This is working now:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 vimb \
    --cmd 'set user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/16.0 Safari/605.1.15' \

Thanks everyone!
