IMO i dont think Epiphany is ready by a long shot to be default

Replace Epiphany with Firefox in the default favourite apps

It says "Replace Epiphany with Firefox", not "Replace Firefox with Epiphany". The way it is written, it sounds like Epiphany was the default for a time, but has since been replaced with FireFox.

well yeah i sort of thought it was to replace firefox as default the way it was written

Eh, wouldn't matter anyway. Defaults are for the suckers who deserve them. :p

yeah, but i wouldnt mind betting in someday they will make Epiphany the default browser, AFAIK you cannot do a lot of configuration in Epiphany compared to Firefox or Chrome and probably other browsers

*ahem* While Greg gets his reading glasses checked :p would this be a good time to either edit the title or close this thread? (or at least a "solved" before panic sets in?) Meanwhile I'll at least move it to F16 Development where it belongs.

Oh heck, let me at least correct the title.

up to you bob, close it leave it open .

Guess it won't hurt to leave it open, just in case someone, somewhere wants to defend Epiphany. (that'll be the sound of crickets chirping while we're waiting....) :dance:

[tox]

guess thats a good enough reason to leave it open :p

I for one am glad to see them Gnome devs finally doing something right. :lol:

I think a large portion (99.99%??) of gnome users change the default browser as soon as gnome (about the first thing I do, myself) is installed anyway, and usually to firefox. (chrome is getting a bigger following as well)

Maybe the Gnome devs finally had an epiphany about Epiphany. :D
