Epiphany: An efficient, but different, web browser

“After I set up RGBA support in Ubuntu (see my article “Enable
RGBA support in Ubuntu”), I sat about to find applications that
could replace non-GTK+ applications currently in use. Replacing the
web browser proved to be a challenge. And although it’s not able to
stand alone as a full blown replacement for my favorite, Chrome,
the Epiphany web browser is a nice, serviceable replacement that
supports RGBA.

“There are a few things Epiphany handles differently than most
browsers. One of those is bookmarks. With Epiphany you will not
find a bookmark toolbar, but the way it does bookmarks is rather
interesting. In this article I will show you how to work with
bookmarks in Epiphany as well as keeping this little browser from
crashing on you every few seconds.

sites I visited. After doing a little research (and then a little
debugging) I realized the issue was with javascript.”
