Entry #13: EpiphanyEpiphany started in 2002 and was rebranded GNOME Web in 2012. It's the official web browser of the GNOME project but has no dependencies on any GNOME desktop components. The name Epiphany is still used internally for development and in the source code. It's simply referred to as Web in the About section in the browser. It's available in both 32 and 64 bit versions. It uses an engine very similar to Chrome. My understanding is the engine it uses, webkit, is what's also used in Safari and iPhone....
Yes you are right. It is based on Apple's webkit. It started out with Firefox engine gecko and fully switched to webkit in 2008. So now we have something good to say about Apple

Works great on my thinkpad T42 (2004). I'm very happy! I never saw this browser.

Works great on my thinkpad T42 (2004). I'm very happy! I never saw this browser. I'm currently typing this message in the SeaMonkey web browser Right now it's my main backup / lightweight browser. Slimjet needs to update their ffmpeg file so I'm not using it right now. It works great overall, but won't play those h.264 videos on YouTube.
