Information om webbläsaren Epiphany...well...

När man slår in ordet i Wikipedias egen sökmaskin hamnar på en sida
som berättar om detta:
Epiphany (Greek: επιφάνεια, "the appearance; miraculous
phenomenon") is a Christian feast intended to celebrate the 'shining
forth' or revelation of God to humankind in human form, in the person of
Jesus. The observance had its origins in the eastern Christian churches,
and included the birth of Jesus; the visit of the Magi, or Wise Men
(traditionally named Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar) who arrived in
Bethlehem; and all of Jesus' childhood events, up to his baptism in the
Jordan by John the Baptist. The feast was initially based on, and viewed
as a fulfillment of, the Jewish Feast of Lights. This was fixed on January
6. Ancient Liturgies speak of Illuminatio, Manifestatio, Declaratio
(Light, Manifest (show), Declare) cf St. Matthew's Gospel (iii, 13-17);
St. Luke's (iii, 22); and St. John's (ii, 1-11); where the Baptism and
Cana are dwelt upon.
Och så vidare. Man är tvungen att gå till gaffelsidan för att komma
rätt -- informationen finns där, trots allt.
Epiphany is a web browser for the GNOME computer desktop. It is a
descendant of Galeon.
It is one of a family of web browsers that use the Gecko layout engine
from the Mozilla project to display web pages. It provides a GNOME
integrated front-end to Gecko, instead of the Mozilla XUL interface. Like
many Gecko-based browsers, Epiphany supports tabbed browsing, cookie
management, popup blocking and an extensions system. Epiphany can be
extended with the Epiphany-extensions package.
Whilst most browsers feature a hierarchical folder-based bookmark system,
Epiphany uses categorised bookmarks, where a single bookmark (such as
"Epiphany") can exist in multiple categories (such as "Web Browsers",
"Gnome", and "Computer Software"). Special categories include bookmarks
that have been used frequently ("Most Frequent") and bookmarks that have
not yet been categorised. This is similar to the planned Firefox 3.0
Places feature which will integrate bookmarks and history into a SQLite
database. Another innovative concept supported by Epiphany (though
originally from Galeon) is "Smart Bookmarks". These take a single argument
specified from the address bar or from a textbox in a toolbar.
Epiphany was developed from Galeon by Marco Pesenti Gritti (also the
initiator of Galeon) with the aim of making a fully GNOME Human Interface
Guidelines compliant web browser and a very simple user experience.
Så det så.
