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

Uncompressed Size: 2,116 k

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.

So You have the very same version as me but youdon't experience the same issues.
I've tried removing whatever configuration for both epiphany and webkit but still have it.
I've even tried an other account but still experience the issue.

I think I'm going to open a RC bug as I consider the package is no more usable.
Does anyone have any suggestion that I can try before opening the bug?
