    Epiphany is cool! It's biggest problem imo is that it uses that awful gnome ui language tho... (also on my machine web pages keep flashing on it for some reason)

    This is a hidden gem of browsers. I like the Vim like navigation, I wish it had a non-vim mode. I am watching the developement on this project avidly.
