[Joachim Frieben]

My reasoning primarily was triggered by the discussion about legal issues
with "firefox" and only then by pedagogical impetus ;o)
After all, "epiphany" is the official "GNOME" web browser, and it has
reached a point where it is perfectly suitable as default browser for this
desktop environment. I consider it more user friendly than "firefox", and
its small (?) user base is certainly rather due to ignorance owed to the
fact that most if not all distros default to "firefox" than to technical
inferiority.
I haven't installed "KDE" on my "rawhide" system, but I have a vague
souvenir that in this case, the browser button/icon is actually linked to
"konqueror".
