Epiphany creates an empty "OpenGL Renderer" window entry in the dock for every video embedded in a webpage.

[Ryan]

On Ubuntu 17.10, Epiphany (GNOME Web) creates an empty "OpenGL Renderer" window entry in the dock for every video embedded in a webpage.

I wasn't sure where to report this. Probably an issue that could be fixed by blacklisting this by name from creating an entry on the dock?

Testing is pretty easy. Open a youtube video and notice the empty window entry on the dock. Or (even better) scroll down a page with multiple videos and notice that a new "OpenGL Renderer" entry is created on the dock for each one. This is really aggravating with Facebook.
