Description: Intuitive GNOME web browser                                        
 Epiphany is a simple yet powerful GNOME web browser targeted at                
 non-technical users. Its principles are simplicity and standards               
 compliance.                                                                    
 .                                                                              
 Simplicity is achieved by a well designed user interface and reliance          
 on external applications for performing external tasks (such as reading        
 email). Simplicity does not mean less features; Epiphany has everything        
 a modern web browser is expected to have.                                      
 .                                                                              
 Standards compliance is achieved on the HTML side by using the                 
 WebKitGTK+ rendering engine (which is based on the engine used by              
 Apple Safari and Google Chrome); and on the user interface side by             
 closely following the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and by            
 close integration with the GNOME desktop.
