--- Comment #20 from Ethan Reesor <firelizzard at gmail.com> ---
I had Epiphany installed via Flatpak. It's not a browser I use, I just installed it for testing purposes. I tried updating it and now it's totally broken (just a white screen). Not sure what happened there but I don't have the interest to debug it since I don't actually use it.

I'm not familiar with the underlying mechanics, so I can't speak on that. My use case is Wails, which currently has a hard dependency on gtk+-3.0 and webkit2gtk-4.0. There's an open ticket to upgrade to webkitgtk-6.0, but no movement on it.

What I consider to be "behaves reasonably" is more or less "Are there issues that significantly reduce the usability of my app?" In the example I used, there's a button containing the text "Greet". In Firefox and Falkon, the button and text are scaled the same amount so it looks right. That's the behavior I expect. In WebKit GTK (Epiphany, Wails), the text is scaled something like 2x more than the button so the rendering is totally screwy and the text is hard to read.
