This had me taking another look at epiphany. After all, it's essentially firefox with the logo and name changed, which is what mozilla seems to want.

And I'm impressed, it's actually customisable enough that I can make it set up the same as I have firefox set up, and it has several nice features not in firefox. And seems faster too.

You might want to check out the epiphany extensions package as well, it contains things like greasemonkey and adblocker plugins.

Also Ross Burton wrote a Deli.cio.us plugin.

I thank you for this comment. I have investigated epiphany and it is most pleasant. Well, aside from the stupidity about dbus not having a sane launch policy, and the lack of a few sanity-saving plugins from firefox (flashblock primarily). Mostly it is a big win: more responsive, smaller footprint, no crazy focus problems.

FYI, I block Flash in Epiphany by putting this into my custom stylesheet (accessible from the preferences window):

/* from <http://www.floppymoose.com/> */

object[classid$=":D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"],
object[codebase*="swflash.cab"],
object[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"],
embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"],
embed[src$=".swf"] {
-moz-binding: url("http://www.floppymoose.com/clickToView.xml#ctv");
}
