@Mathijs: would deleting the browser’s history database help? Try doing the following, on your device:

    cd /home/phablet/.local/share/webbrowser-app/
    mv history.sqlite history.sqlite.bak

In case it fixes the problem, I’d be interested in taking a look at the history.sqlite.bak file to understand how it got corrupted (note however that it contains sensitive information such as URLs you visited, number of visits and last visit date, so I’d understand if you’d rather not share it with me; if you do I’ll treat it with the utmost confidentiality of course).

If that doesn’t help, you could also try the same manipulation with the following two files (which are located under the same directory): bookmarks.sqlite and session.json (try one at a time). The same remark applies: if by chance that fixes the issue, I’d be interested in getting my hands on the corrupted file if possible (they do contain sensitive information too).
