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.
