I just tried to use webkit on my iMac 20'' 2007 and on my Macbook Pro 2011 13''. OS X versions are the same on both computers (10.8.3) and both have the latest builds of webkit running. The difference is, while working fine on my macbook, the web content won't load on my iMac. Beside the hardware which differences I mentioned above both computers are pretty much the same, at least concerning software versions. Some pages are stuck in loading, but the blue bar went completely through, others seem to have finished loading but also don't show any content. Since I can't scroll the blank content over the edges I suppose it is stuck. If I try to manually reload a page I get the warning message all tabs will have to reload, and most of the times when I accept that, webkit crashes. I can display source codes (safari-extension bettersource) and see there what should be there, and page titles and page icons are being loaded normally; just the page content does not load.
Can you please run the below command when load is stuck, and attach a file that appears on your desktop output to this bug? sample WebProcess > ~/Desktop/WebProcess.sample.txt Also, does this issue still occur if you disable extensions?

Okey, I feel stupid now, could've thought of that for myself - the only difference on both computers is that I just started testing the "speed up" option for the Adblock extension, and I could track it down to that. So my new bug is that webkit does not work with the "speed up adblock" option (which is in beta-state) for the adblock-extension which does work on safari.
Thank you very much for following up on this! Marking INVALID, as this is is how we handle issues that are external to WebKit.
Well, that is not true because the speeding up option does work on safari. The problem has to lie on Webkit's side...
That's correct, however for a beta feature in an add-on, it is in practice up to add-on developers to investigate what is wrong, and either work around a change, or file a bug with detailed technical information.
