Description

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.
