Hi. I'm a Fedora Core 4 user. I go back and forth between Firefox and Epiphany, though I stick with Epiphany most of the time. I like Epiphany in mostly every way, except for one thing that bugs me. A lot - the fact that it only displays favicons only for a small percentage of pages I visit. I can't stand it - if it weren't for that one obvious little visual impairment I really wouldn't be tempted to use firefox. But my bookmark menu is ugly and off balance when only one out of every 3 bookmarks has an icon, and this leads me to a question that confounds me - why on earth does epiphany require an extension to view most of the favicons out there? Couldn't someone just include that feature in the browser? I'd rather have it one way or the other - no built in favicon support at all, or full and complete favicon support, but anything other then having handicapped favicon support by default (that only works a third of the time).
Trying to get these extensions from source is crazy for someone like me who is not a developer. I appreciate you guys, truly, but I don't know GCC programming/compiling routines and I can't stand dependency hell and simply won't deal with it. Yum is a useful tool, but unfortunately the standard repositories don't contain the extensions I'm looking for. Could any of you please, pretty please, consider just letting Epiphany support all favicons? I've reached the point of diminishing returns, and it's not worth hours of time researching the extensions and troubleshooting dependencies to get pictures to show up properly alongside web addresses. Thanks for any consideration! -Dan F _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
