another premature ... from Ubuntu.
Epiphany Gecko is far superior to the webkit one. Which is a joke it can't
even open in new tabs.
If you want a Webkit browser use Chromium, bring back Epiphay Gecko.

pt123, epiphany-gecko was discontinued/EOL'd a few months ago in the
GNOME 2.26 series and Karmic is using GNOME 2.27/2.28, so there si no
upstreams developers working on it, all the effort is now on -webkit
See this post for a upstream developer:
I think the switch to Webkit is premature. Both browsers have severe
customizability limitations, but at least Epiphany-gecko allowed to you
tweak it with about:config.
This bug is not invalid BTW, right now this is what you get when you try

# apt-get install
the bug is not one in this source though, the ftp binaries just need to
be cleaned which will happen in lucid now

Damn, that's disappointing. I specifically left Firefox and switched to
Epiphany but Epiphany/Webkit really seems like it's not ready for prime
time IMO. There don't seem to be any working extensions, my form
information never gets saved to the point where I'm having to reset the
damned things on
CORRECTION: The base package of extensions for Epiphany are in fact
ported, but I can't find a way to get the extra extensions pack
(epiphany-extensions-more) installed.
It turns out the problem with getting logged into Launchpad is more
about the fact that the cookies don't seem to be getting
