Yes, missing unzip seems to be another issue.

The browser is Iceweasel from Debian/sid. Initially version 9, but the 
issue persists with version 10. I also tried with all extensions and 
plug-ins disabled, with only gnome shell integration plug-in enabled.

The whole system is pretty much tracking unstable.

$ dpkg -l gir1.2-soup-2.4 libsoup2.4-1 libsoup-gnome2.4-1
ii  gir1.2-soup-2.4     2.36.1-1            GObject introspection data…
ii  libsoup-gnome2.4-1  2.36.1-1            HTTP library implementation…
ii  libsoup2.4-1        2.36.1-1            HTTP library implementation…

Just tried epiphany (3.2.1-2), same result:

(epiphany-browser:32397): GnomeShellBrowserPlugin-DEBUG: invoking plugin object method
    JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: TypeError: info is null
    JS ERROR: !!!     lineNumber = '125'
    JS ERROR: !!!     fileName = '"/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/extensionSystem.js"'
    JS ERROR: !!!     stack = '"([object _private_Soup_SessionAsync],[object _private_Soup_Message])@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/extensionSystem.js:125
"'
    JS ERROR: !!!     message = '"info is null"'
