You know... I just decided to give Epiphany a spin in FC3 T3, not all
bad. *But* (dealbreaker(tm) for me,,,
I noticed that Mozilla (waytoomany MB for my laptop) was showing up in
my yum update post install. Funny, since I had in no way shape or form
chosen moz from the graphical internet options when I installed T3... 
So I did the following:
[root at swlt01 ~]# rpm -e mozilla
and got:
error: Failed dependencies:
        mozilla = 37:1.7.3 is needed by (installed) epiphany-1.4.0-0.3.6
(rant on)
This is beyond rude. The slick integrated lightweight Epihphany
browser deps on the alltoobloated moz browser? I'm done w/ that. I
liked Epihany enough to play with it but *really* would rather just go
w/ firefox & lose the moz dep/provide altogether as far as I can
tell... yrrgh... ugly
(rant off)
Actually a neat browser <but> one of the reasons I prefer Firefix is
its modular nature, If I wanted to install Mozilla well then I'd
install the whole monolithic shebang wouldn't I?

Ymmv :)
