Epiphay browser crashes when loading Matrix/Element

[Germán Poo-Caamaño]

Using Ubuntu 21.10 Beta from October 12th.

Try:

% /usr/bin/epiphany -p https://gnome.riot.im/

The WebKit process crashes while loading the page.

I used explicitly the -p (private mode) option to narrow the issue.

installing apport-collect uninstall systemd-coredump. Anyhow, I played along:

% apport-collect 1946817
Package webkit2gtk not installed and no hook available, ignoring

I requested another person to try the same, and it could reproduce
it in a hardware that is already different than mine. So, it is
a matter of running the line I reported and get more information.
The backtrace contains the symbols.

It seems specific of the WebKitGtk version shipped by Ubuntu 21.10.
