An epiphany in browsing

Epiphany Web Browser
Epiphany Web Browser

As many of you know, the former maintainer of Galeon, Marco Pesenti Gritti, recently started a new project based on the Galeon codebase known as Epiphany. The main goals of the Epiphany web browser are simplicity, usability, following the GNOME HIG, and GNOME integration. Epiphany is available from GNOME cvs in the "epiphany" module.

Ed Dumbill has written a nice short little review of Epiphany in its current developmental state, complete with a few screenshots, and some download links.

Also, here is another screenshot of Epiphany taken by James Willcox showing a patch that provides load feedback in the tabs and a bookmark context menu.

On another note, If any of you out there would be interested in contributing to the Epiphany project, Marco could use some help with the Epiphany website

Re: An epiphany in browsing

Wrong - Galeon doesn't want to be a GNOME browser, it wants to be a general purpose browser, one that just uses GNOME technology for convenience' sake. The HIG-ification pissed off a lot of the developers ("Oh no! It's easy to use! We can't feel smart anymore!"), and it still relies on a bunch of screwed up ideas like having it's own mime-type system, etc.
