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/
