Epiphany
Epiphany is a simple
yet powerful GNOME
web browser. It aims to utilize the simplest interface possible for a
browser.
Keep in mind that simple does not necessarily mean less powerful.
It is one of a family of web browsers that use the Gecko
layout engine from the Mozilla project to display web pages. It
provides a GNOME
integrated front-end to Gecko, instead of the Mozilla
XUL interface.
Epiphany also address simplicity with modularity to make a
light and powerful application. If something can be implemented using
external applications or components, functionality is not duplicated.
Integration is achieved with CORBA, Bonobo, and
the ever popular command line.
Epiphany targets non-technical users by design. This is the
vast majority of the user population.
