Summary [GTK] Some websites cause busy loop making epiphany unresponsive

If I browse to https://www.titanic-magazin.de, then a short time after the page is loaded my epiphany tab freezes and the corresponding WebKitWebProcess spins the CPU at ~100%. Steps to reproduce: * Visit https://www.titanic-magazin.de * Wait until the page is fully loaded Result: * Tab freezes, CPU spins Expected result: * Tab remains responsive This is happening with the following package versions: * webkit2gtk3-2.22.5-1.fc29.x86_64 * epiphany-runtime-1:3.30.2-1.fc29.x86_64 I believe that this issue has existed for a long time, and I think I first saw it happening just after the website was redesigned.

I can reproduce with 2.23.3 using Ephy master (which has AC mode disabled)

I am unable to reproduce it anymore on F30 with webkit2gtk3 version 2.24.1. At the point that the freeze would generally happen a huge semi transparent overlay pops up asking me to disable adblockers.
