To me Epiphany is a very nice browser, in fact I can prefer it to Firefox (due to Google sponsoring which asks to check regularly after updates). The main reason I still prefer Firefox is :
- smoother video on Firefox
- no connection between Gnome Web & Secrets password manager (which is touch friendly and belongs to Gnome apps ecosystem). Currently, you can imagine how much you have to swipe up and left/right to copy paste ID & passwords.
I have read on their git that they don’t support anything related to webkit (ex : for video issue, and here another example with the main Secrets developer asking to make relation between Epiphany and Secrets (ex-Password Safe)).
While it is a good practice to split tasks into responsibilities, how can we expect to get issues to be solved if the team is not concerned ? I mean the end user make an issue due to video flickering on Gnome Epiphany repository (which sometimes is a kind of effort in an end user point of view) and the answer is something like “please open another ticket on webkit”.
I really hope they will consider both issues + the crashes as Gnome Web is really good for smartphone and tablet (I use it sometimes on my Surface computer).
