Epiphany は WebKit だけに
Epiphany は描画エンジンに Firefox と同じ Gecko を使っている Gnome プロジェクトのブラウザだ。
Problems
- The Gecko release cycle is very long, ... prone to delays and not synchronised with the unvarying 6-month Gnome release cycle.
- the feature work on Gecko are mostly driven by the Firefox browser, our main competitor
- the embedding API of Gecko (GtkMozEmbed) has been unmaintained and stagnant
for a long time.
- the current plans for "Mozilla 2.0" bring much uncertainty to us
- We are a small team, ... Maintaining the abstraction layer, and the Gecko back-end require lot of effort and time.
This single back-end will be * WebKit *.
