Epiphany Features
Security
Epiphany shows you clearly if the information you enter on a webpage is transmitted securely. It can block popup windows, refuse cookies from untrusted sites and store your passwords in a safe place. With Epiphany, you can rest assured that your online privacy is being guarded.
Customizable user interface
Epiphany lets you arrange user interface elements by simply dragging and dropping with your mouse. It also provides tabs, so you can easily organize related webpages on your computer screen.
Smart bookmarks
Smart bookmarks make it a snap to lookup text in online knowledge bases, like dictionaries or search engines. Also, you don't have to keep track of in which subfolder you put that one bookmark --- just assign it some topic(s) and Epiphany will show you the relevant bookmarks in a dropdown menu.
Extensions and plugins
Need some specialized browser function that's not available in the default menus? There's a good chance someone has already written an extension for you. The Epiphany Extensions package is what you will need. Epiphany runs all the same popular plugins that run in Mozilla.

I’m using Ubuntu Intreped Ibex and I have Epiphany. However, I can’t run it. I did the installation via terminal but it’s not in the internet menu. Help? If you have help, email me at [email protected]
You probably have figured it out by now, but just in case……
If you look in System->Preferences->Main Menu you will see the apps that are currently selected to show up in the menu. Click on the Internet listing in the left panel, which will display what is available, and what is already selected for the Internet sub-menu. Mine showed two entries for Epiphany, one with (Gecko) after it, which was not selected. Select it and it will show up in the menu system. BTW, I left the other Epiphany entry select also.

I see no feature in Epiphany to delete all cookies when shutting down. Other security breaches exist, due to lack of plugins/extensions that are easily available in Firefox. Such as “noscript” and “TrackMeNot”.
