# GNOME Web

From ArchWiki

Epiphany is a simple web browser primarily intended for the GNOME desktop which works acceptably with other desktop environments as well.

## Installation

To install Epiphany from the repositories, run:

    # pacman -S epiphany

If you want to save login passwords, install gnome-keyring:

    # pacman -S gnome-keyring

If you are using another desktop environment (DE) other than GNOME, you will probably have to create directory `~/.gnome2/epiphany`. To do so, type:

    $ mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/epiphany

## Flash

Install package flashplugin from official repositories. Then Epiphany should be able to echo flash content.

## Manage Web Apps

Since version 3.0, Epiphany can add "web app" launchers to GNOME Shell. You can manage and remove them by typing "about:applications" into the Epiphany address bar.

## Fix Pixelated Fonts

Some websites such as github.com tend to use bitmap font from X11, named Clean.

Easy fix is to disable bitmap fonts, run:

    # ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
