Nice browser for GNOME users

http://epiphany.mozdev.org/

Epiphany's main goal is to be integrated with the gnome desktop. We dont aim to make epiphany usable outside Gnome. If someone will like to use it anyway, it's just a plus. Ex: Making people happy that don't have control center installed is not a good reason to have mime configuration in epiphany itself.

Seems quite fast. Just wanted to post this in case any of you were interested. Looks quite impressive and will more than likely do a much better job than Galeon was ever capable of.

Interesting, the fact that "We dont aim to make epiphany usable outside Gnome" really blows, even konqueror works with other desktop enviroments. IMO galeon is still just about the best graphical web browser available for linux, although the cvs snapshots of phoenix are rapidly gaining ground.

oi nukes, where about in scotland are you located. maybe i can challenge you to a drinking contest.

damn what can i say to keep this post on-topic...??

i think that did it

I'm right up in the highlands sadly. Just about 30 miles away from Thurso, which sucks badly.
Yes, slackware does rock and I'm reporting you to Fingers for stating the obvious! :P
The fact it won't run outside GNOME doesn't bother me, they are going for an integrated solution, and it would be hard to do that AND make it run fine on its own without adding a lot of mess to the program. I don't really care though. I use Fluxbox. Konqueror is a great app though. There is a new file manager designed to replace Nautilus floating about. Looks quite good too.

I can see where Eddy has a problem with Epiphany being a Gnome only browser but I have to say I really like thier approach. Galeon is a nice browser but it was originally an fork from the original mozilla project with the goal of making it lighter. Epiphany is a fork from the Galeon project (which is being coded by some of the Galeon folks who that Galeon was getting to bloated).

Still, as harsh sounding as "We dont aim to make epiphany usable outside Gnome" is I'd bet it'll work fine if you have the Gnome libs. I think their example sums it up well "Making people happy that don't have control center installed is not a good reason to have mime configuration in epiphany itself."

In all editorial fairness though I have to say that Gnome2 is the best I've ever used across any operating system though so my opinion is somewhat biased.

Would you being willing to share any light on the new file manager designed to replace Nautilus Nukes? I think Metacity was/is a great idea. I'd like to see what's going to replace Nautilus. Thanks again for the post.
