This seems to be the same problem as reported for the 'tauri' web browser here: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/7927
They've reported a workaround of setting this variable, which I've confirmed to work with surf as well: WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 So something in the GPU acceleration code broke for small users of webkitgtk... I don't have much time to look further right now, but I'll keep looking as time permits... Thanks, -- Dominique
