I'm curious to find out if many users on this list have been paying much
attention to what epiphany-browser is doing in Lucid.

Epiphany provides a web browser experience that's much more consistent with
the rest of the gtk/gnome desktop environment. It has a few rough edges, but
the 2.30.x branch has made some HUGE leaps in terms of usability and website
compatability, via the webkit-gtk project.

Epiphany also might yield better results than other browsers like Firefox
and Chrome, which use relatively heavyweight custom toolkits and widgets. I
get the impression that integrating Epiphany into newer ubuntu design goals
(global menu, windicator, etc) would be substantially less work.

As someone who's successfully switched to using epiphany for about 99% of my
browsing, my experience can't help but ask if epiphany is the best route
going forward. Is it getting much attention from Ayatana?
