As Galeon was oriented towards power users, most developers disapproved. Īround the same time, the GNOME project adopted a set of human interface guidelines, which promoted simplification of user interfaces. While Gritti regarded Galeon's monolithic design and the number of user-configurable features as factors limiting Galeon's maintainability and usability, the rest of the Galeon developers wanted to add more features. The fork occurred because of the disagreement between Gritti and the rest of Galeon developers about new features. Marco Pesenti Gritti, the initiator of Galeon, originally developed Epiphany in 2002 as a fork of Galeon. The package remains epiphany-browser in Debian (to avoid a name collision with a video game that is also called "Epiphany") and epiphany in Fedora. The name Epiphany is still used internally, as its code name, for development and in the source code. GNOME Web was originally named "Epiphany", but was rebranded in 2012 as part of GNOME 3.4. GNOME Web is the default web browser on elementary OS and Bodhi Linux version 5. It is the default and official web browser of GNOME, and part of the GNOME Core Applications.ĭespite being a component of GNOME, Web has no dependency on GNOME components, so it can be potentially installed on any system supporting GTK and WebKitGTK. It is developed by the GNOME project for Unix-like systems. GNOME Web, called Epiphany until 2012 and still known by that code name, is a free and open-source web browser based on the GTK port of Apple's WebKit rendering engine, called WebKitGTK.
