Indeed it isn't. A Web browser also displays plain text, standalone Jpegs, PNGs, and GIFs -- and other types (such as Flash or Java) with plug-ins, whether they're inside an HTML page or not. Conversely, a dedicated HTML viewer wouldn't need features for things like reloading, cookies, or HTTP authentication that a Web browser needs to deal with. -- Matthew Paul Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/ _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
