Epiphany-powerful and easy to use GNOME web browser in Ubuntu Linux

This post was written by admin on December 16, 2009

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 should not mean less powerful. Standards compliance is achieved on the HTML side by using the WebKitGTK+ rendering engine; and on the user interface side by closely following the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and by close integration with the GNOME desktop.
Feature
Epiphany shows you clearly if the information you enter on a webpage is transmitted securely. It can block popup windows, refuse cookies from untrusted sites and store your passwords in a safe place. With Epiphany, you can rest assured that your online privacy is being guarded.
Epiphany lets you arrange user interface elements by simply dragging and dropping with your mouse. It also provides tabs, so you can easily organize related webpages on your computer screen.
Smart bookmarks make it a snap to lookup text in online knowledge bases, like dictionaries or search engines. Also, you don’t have to keep track of in which subfolder you put that one bookmark — just assign it some topic(s) and Epiphany will show you the relevant bookmarks in a dropdown menu.
Epiphany runs all the same popular plugins that run in Mozilla.
