The output of webkit://gpu

Gnome Web Canary (Flatpak), Devhelp (Fedora Toolbox), the WebKit MiniBrowser and, perhaps unrelated, the Servo MiniBrowser all cannot perform hardware acceleration. webkit://gpu reports llvmpipe rendering, the GTK Inspector reports the GL vendor is 'Mesa Project' instead of the normal 'Nvidia'.

However, hardware acceleration works fine in Gnome Web (Flatpak) and Epiphany Technology Preview (Flatpak).

The GTK version of Canary, WebKit MiniBrowser, Web and Tech Preview are 4.11.4, 4.11.4, 4.12.1 and 4.13.1 respectively. Note that all software failing to perform hardware acceleration has GTK version <4.12. 

Hardware: Nvidia RTX 4070 (driver version 535)/ Intel i7-13700F.
