I am sorry, but this is halarious. For now use midiori until your problem is fixed, and if you like that, stick with it.

to double check i just created a new profile but it happened again after using it for a while, could it be a font problem? i noticed fonts start becomeing weird box symbols right before this happens
this terminal error makes me wander
