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


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. Add and open bookmarks from "gearwheel icon" - Bookmarks" menu. Manage them in "Super menu" - "Bookmarks".
  3. Login to some pages and store your passwords in Gnome Web. Manage them in "Super menu" - "Personal Data".
  4. Configure Gnome Web in "Super menu" - "Personal Data".
  5. Save page as web application: "gearwheel icon" - "Save As Web Application..." and search for it and open in Gnome Shell Activities.
  6. Enable all available extensions and try to use them.
  7. Try other actions in "gearwheel" menu.

Expected Results

  1. All websites should be rendered correctly and look like in other web browsers. You can play HTML5 videos and if you have flash-plugin installed use Flash.
  2. Adding, opening and removing bookmarks should work.
  3. Gnome Web should ask you before it stores password. You can show and remove your passwords.
  4. Every option change should provide result you are expecting from description.
  5. You can find and open web application from Activities like local installed applications.
  6. Gnome Web should not crash and extensions should work as expected.
  7. Every action should work as you expect.
