Encyclopedic overview
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. It is developed by the GNOME project for Unix-like systems. It is the default and official web browser of GNOME, and part of the GNOME Core Applications.
GNOME Web is the default web browser on elementary OS, Bodhi Linux version 5 and PureOS GNOME Edition.
