Need to add one observation.

It does crash on opening that URL. Opening this URL works fine. And as nothing happens in the browser, it stays open.


It crashes as soon as I scroll the website, or do some action in the browser when this URL is currently open, even press random key that would have no keybinding in falkon, then it crashes.

Typo correction. I meant to say:

It does NOT crash on opening that URL. Opening this URL works fine. ...

fwiw that page is fine for me in qutebrowser with qtwebengine-6.9.0 while scrolling, haven't tried falkon+6.8.3 though (qutebrowser and falkon tend to have the same problems given it comes down to being a qtwebengine issue).

Just to say that it "may" be already fixed in 6.9.x (6.9.0 is masked though, it has other problems -- 6.9.x will be unmasked when qtwebengine-6.9.1 release).

What about 25.04.1?
