Description:
Ok, that's weird. This webpage1 (the whole website, actually) makes the tab to crash(?) and, wait for it, Chromium to be launched(!). See video as attachment for visual proof.
Versions:
Fedora 25 Beta epiphany 3.22.1-1 webkitgtk4 2.14.1-2 kernel 4.8.6-300 mesa 12.0.3-3 xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.19.0-0.7.rc2 xorg-x11-drv-intel 2.99.917-26.20160929
Web non-default configs:
Enable plugins --> OFF Remember passwords --> OFF ~/.config/epiphany/adblock/filters.list --> "https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt;https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt"

Always happens. Happens in both Wayland and X sessions. GPU is a G33, from a Pentium E5700 CPU. Does not produce an ABRT thing, I don't know why.
What happens if you have another tab open when you visit this website? I bet the browser remains open and only the tab that you used to visit this site closes, right?
Yes.
(is Chromium your default browser?)
No. Web is the default.
I tried to:
-
Delete... ~/.cache/epiphany ~/.config/epiphany ~/.local/share/epiphany ~/.cache/webkitgtk ~/.local/share/webkitgtk
-
and reset everything inside 'org.gnome.epiphany' in 'dconf-editor',
-
and uninstall Chromium.
The thing still happens, however. Best hint I could find is this dialog from a "windowless" Files in a X session (see image in attachments).
