Hi Kent,

Thanks for testing. On my side I have:

# aptitude show epiphany-browser

Package: epiphany-browser                

Version: 3.20.3-2

State: installed

Automatically installed: no

Priority: optional

Section: gnome

Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers <pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>

Architecture: amd64

The program pops up quickly, but if you try to type anything inside the input box of ddg.gg it will be terribly slow entering characters. I feel like 1 character per 5 seconds or more. Generally characters are buffered and after half a minute you end with your search message there but this is quite unusable.

I'm using epiphany as main browser, so may be data cache or something related.

No noticeable slowness on my machine, either in starting the browser, or in using it. ddg.gg fills in the search field as fast as I can type, and pulls up the result quickly.
