Same issue here (blank content); see the attachment.

Reproduce by grabbing an xterm on gnome on Xorg on an amd64 desktop with the graphics card NVIDIA PΛLiΤ GeForce GTX 1660, and (the URL doesn't matter)


$ epiphany-browser http://duckduckgo.com
src/nv_gbm.c:288: GBM-DRV error (nv_gbm_create_device_native): nv_common_gbm_create_device failed (ret=-1)
  
src/nv_gbm.c:288: GBM-DRV error (nv_gbm_create_device_native): nv_common_gbm_create_device failed (ret=-1)

As opposed to this,

$ WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 epiphany-browser http://duckduckgo.com

happily shows some contents.

If you happen to close the opened tab,

(epiphany:…): Gdk-WARNING **: …: eglExportDMABUFImage failed: 0x3009

is printed in both tests.

Please repair the sucker.

Gratefully!
