Thanks for the report, this is due to this WebKit bug:

   https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275890

This will be fixed in the next upload to Debian. I have uploaded a
temporary build with that bug fixed:

   https://people.debian.org/~berto/webkit2gtk_2.46.0-2~deb12u2.1/amd64/

If you you want to give it a try can you please confirm that it works
fine for you?

For Epiphany in bookworm you will need to install (at least) these
two:

   libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0_2.46.0-2~deb12u1.1_amd64.deb 
   libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-0_2.46.0-2~deb12u1.1_amd64.deb
