Checking the Fedora spec file, webkit2 should have various requires and recommendations. See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/webkit2gtk3/blob/master/f/webkit2gtk3.spec

I've added these in a new webkit2-2.29.3-2.mga8.

Well done & thanks, Olav. That fixed it. Surprised it went so long unreported.

Seems you should not have flatpak and/or gnome-software. So I guess a lot already had the dependency by accident.
