Description

Epiphany is the web browser for the GNOME desktop. Its goal is to be simple and easy to use. Epiphany ties together many GNOME components in order to let you focus on the Web content, instead of the browser application.

See new features in Gnome Web.

Setup

  • Install epiphany package. Empty Link use sudo dnf install epiphany


If you have Adobe Flash Player installed, but it doesn't work in Gnome Web, install package nspluginwrapper and run command /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/npconfig -v -n -a -i as a regular user. Replace "lib64" with "lib" is you are running i686 arch.

How to test

  1. Test Gnome Web with sites you visit daily, like Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Slashdot, etc. and don't forget on your local sites and sites using HTTPS. Open multiple tabs as many as it's your usual daily peak.
  2. Play HTML5 video on YouTube. Try pause, play, fullscreen mode, video seek, changing video resolution, etc.
