Created attachment 399285 [details] top=issue, bottom=fixed with reload Around the time of Epiphany 3.36 and WebKitGTK 2.28 release I noticed in Epiphany Tech Preview that some tabs don't have title, but instead show an URL of the page (top image). The issue can be fixed by reloading the page (bottom image). According to @mcatanzaro the issue eis that "WebKitWebView's title property is NULL". This is during normal use within one session, not e.g. after restarting Ephy. I just open bunch of tabs and some of them have this issue. I mostly noticed this with DDG (as in screenshot), which is the first page loaded after I open new tab (I search with DDG using address bar). It might be related. I can reproduce this on Ephy Tech Preview 3.37.1-16-g04b840c21 (flatpak) as well as Ephy Stable 3.36.1 (also flatpak). Originally reported: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/1191

The code for setting the WebKitWebView's “title” property is shared with WPE, so this surely is affecting it as well; added the corresponding tag in the bug title.
