Public bug reported:

This is not a regression (I'm only just now filing this).

If I open the webbrowser-app and press 'Activity' from the bottom
toolbar, it can take several esconds (5-10) for the activity tab to
display. Once it does, scrolling up and down is painfully slow. Left to
right scrolling with a category (This year, This month, etc) is
acceptable. The performance of Activity seems to be aggravated by the
number of items in the activity. Eg, if I remove ~/.cache/webbrowser-app
and ~.local/share/webbrowser-app, then performance is improved.

Accessing bookmarks is also very slow-- you have to go through Activity
to access them, and then clicking the Bookmarks tab takes several
seconds to display. Vertical scrolling seems better in Bookmarks than in
Activity and is usable with the number of bookmarks I have, but the
performance is somewhat sluggish and could be improved.

This is on mako on latest promoted trusted image (58).
