May I point you to the crash report¹ of liferea in Ubuntu in the hope that it may help you to improve liferea. Please let me know if you believe or suspect this may be Ubuntu/Debian specific.

@paulgevers This crash is inside WebkitGTK+ (visible by the C++ methods, as Liferea is written in pure C). I suspect an issue in the HTML renderer and I fear I cannot solve this.

@lwindolf

Then I suggest you close this bug. I will reassign the bug in Ubuntu to
the package that provides webkitgtk+.

I have found numerous crashes in the javascript rendering of webkit of different web pages.
This mainly because the webkit1 version used by liferea is no longer under active development.
@Leiaz in issue #311 has created a port of liferea to webkit2. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now.
I've had very few issues. One side effect of webkit2 is because it's running in a separate process, if webkit crashes, it no longer crashes liferea.
