Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I searched the existing issues and did not find anything similar.

Current Behavior

When Web (a.k.a. Epiphany) is online, Resources shows it taking only 134 MB. It initially made me think it is the most lightweight browser, as Firefox took gigabytes with the same amount of tabs. But then I had a very good idea: I clicked "Processes". See, clicking "Processes" gave me a whole new perspective and I was able to see many processes called "WebKitWebProcess". They are akin what are "Isolated Web Co" to Firefox, but memory consumed by them is not counted towards Web's usage.

Hi,
I guess you have installed GNOME Web using dnf?

I have tried it on the latest fedora version. The Icon is a bit buggy. I have installed the app, and it showed the icon of the Resource App instead of the Web.image
With the Web Core process, it shows separately and changes size dynamically. The normal web usage of the app remains the same. And yes, I used Fedora latest version.

I have tried the Flatpak version too, and the icons there function correctly. However, the Web Cores are still different.

When restarting the app, the bug of the icons can be fixed, but they sometimes come back.
