Description Michael Catanzaro 2020-04-21 08:29:56 PDT 
Moving from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/963. To reproduce, in Epiphany with the adblocker enabled:

 * Visit https://www.vox.com/2020/4/20/21227903/trump-blames-obama-coronavirus
 * Open the security popover (the lock icon) and change Advertisements permission to "Yes" (or "Allow" in git master)
 * Open web inspector with Ctrl+Shift+I and clear the console history
 * Reload the page, bypassing cache for good measure: Ctrl+Shift+R
 
Notice these logs in the console:

But Epiphany has removed the adblock filter from this view's WebKitUserContentManager using webkit_user_content_manager_remove_filter(), so no content blockers should be enabled. Jan-Michael says the bug still occurs if he changes Epiphany to use webkit_user_content_manager_remove_all_filters() instead, so this seems to be WebKit's fault.
