I can confirm this also happens on emacs 30.0.5 on Ubuntu 22.04.3 as of a recent update. Webkit was working nicely before a security update and any calls to webkit now cause the emacs GUI to crash. Terminal emacs started with emacs -nw doesn’t crash but produces the error message: make-xwidget: GTK has not been initialized. It seems the issue is related to webkitgtk, as I have the same issue with emacs 28 and 29 loaded with or without my config. FWIW, the issue is, for me, not specific to elfeed-webkit, as something like: (xwidget-webkit-browse-url "https://google.com") also causes a crash.
I’m not sure how to roll back webkitgtk to a previous version, but am wondering if that would fix the issue…
