Epiphany comes with an ad blocker extension that can be enabled in the
settings. When starting epiphany, however, the following message can be
seen on VT1:
** (WebKitWebProcess:12345): WARNING **: Error retrieving adblock filter: Operation not supported
In fact, Epiphany does not store any filter list anywhere and as a
result no ads are blocked.

“g_file_new_for_uri” triggers the download via dbus, so it must be made
aware of the dbus session. When running “dbus-launch epiphany” the
error changes to
** (WebKitWebProcess:30867): WARNING **: Error retrieving adblock filter: HTTP Error: TLS/SSL support not available; install glib-networking
If I first export the same environment variables (for GIO modules) that
are set in the epiphany wrapper the error disappears:
guix environment --ad-hoc dbus
source <(sed $(readlink -f $(which epiphany)) -e "s/exec.*//")
dbus-launch epiphany
Should we use dbus-launch in the wrapper script or should we ensure
system-wide that after logging in the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is
exported?
I’m using stumpwm so I don’t know if GNOME usually takes care of this.
Maybe it is sufficient to run “dbus-launch” in .xsession and eval the
variable definitions it generates.
If this is so, should we handle this by default in some global file like
/etc/environment or similar?

It seems that both GNOME and Xfce take care of setting
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, since that variable is set on both my x86_64
GuixSD system running GNOME and my mips64el GuixSD system running Xfce.

Thanks for confirming.
Recent versions of systemd’s pam-systemd set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS as
well. Our version of elogind does not. I just backported the changes
from systemd 226 to elogind and will test this on my system.
Doing this in pam-elogind would probably be best.

Epiphany's ad blocker is now working for me on GuixSD with GNOME and a
foreign distro.

Yes, it does work in GNOME. I think I used it in StumpWM when it didn’t
work. The session was not wrapped in dbus-launch. Now I’m using EXWM,
which is started within dbus-launch, and the ad blocker does work.
I suspect that the only problem was that DBus wasn’t working properly
when starting StumpWM without the dbus-launch wrapper. I hope this
information will be helpful to people from the future who find this old
bug report through a web search.
