Hmm... that sounds like a problem with the web process, can you run
gdb?

1. open epiphany
2. look for the WebKitWebProcess process (pidof WebKitWebProcess)
3. gdb -p <pid of the webprocess> /usr/lib/*/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess
4. type 'cont' on the gdb prompt
5. open discord and try to reproduce the bug
6. if the web process crashes you should get the gdb prompt again. type
   'bt' and send the output.

Thanks!

Berto
