..ok. So they didn't have to put much/any effort in? Still though, how many users are actually going to use 'GNOME Web'?

If I installed this, even for an elderly relative or whatever rather than myself, probably my next step would be to install Firefox. (And for others it might be Chrome of course.)



Why? Gnome web is actually simpler and easier to use than Firefox for elderly people. It performs surprisingly well, too.


Because I've heard of it before this evening, trust it'll get updates, it has a decent privacy/security record, I know where things are if I'm asked for help, ...

But mostly it's the first, I couldn't possibly have picked GNOME Web before this conversation, I didn't know it existed!


It used to go by Epiphany, but that's probably an even worse name.


I prefer it being less generic.
