Epiphany is the default web browser for GNOME, and now as of Foresight 1.1, Foresight Linux.

What is Epiphany? Epiphany is the browser for the GNOME desktop, with it’s goal to be simple and easy to use. Powered by the Gecko engine, like Firefox, Epiphany offers extensions, customizable user interface, and smart bookmarks.

Luis Villa recently published a link of things, in his opinion, Epiphany did superior to Firefox. (No, I’m not trying to start a flamewar, just food for thought on why you might want to try Epiphany!)

Over at Thilo’s blog, he covers why we’ve made the switch at Foresight Linux and some benefits of using Epiphany. He also is asking the community what they would like to see in Epiphany on Foresight, from plugins and extensions, and what’s included in the default Epiphany install on Foresight.

Try Epiphany today – I was pleasantly surprised by it.
