--- Comment #7 from Enrique Ocaña <eocanha at igalia.com> ---
Not anymore for me, at least.

This issue disappeared after https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230891 landed. That patch uses the flatpack extension for the Nvidia proprietary drivers (on systems that have them).

Still, I had to install the nvidia flatpak extensions manually in the WebKit flatpak with this command that Phil suggested to me (adapt the path for your case):

  FLATPAK_USER_DIR=$HOME/WebKit/WebKitBuild/UserFlatpak flatpak install --user org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-460-91

Later, after considering Patrick's feedback, Phil suggested a new command to install it system-wide and avoid reinstalls every time the WebKit flatpack (UserFlatpak) is regenerated:

  flatpak install --system org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-460-91

After this, both MiniBrowser and Epiphany Canary (following instructions from https://base-art.net/Articles/introducing-the-gnome-web-canary-flavor/) worked fine (including HTML5 video) in X11 using the proprietary drivers. They even worked in wayland in an X-Window weston session, something that I couldn't ever get working before.

Phil, thanks for whatever you did to fix this! Now my nvidia laptop has changed from being an expensive paperweight to be a useful machine for upstream developing again. :-)))
