Hello, I am delighted the evolution that epiphany has taken, and this release I have become my default web browser. However, I have some doubts about its future performance and features that would make before writing a report. Improvements: Pin epiphany tabs: This is a feature used by many browsers (safari recently) and is convenient to maintain some websites or webapps always open. Warning when closing multiple tabs: It may seem minor, but it is important to avoid mistakes. Reading view: Another practical element of modern web browsers. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-reader-view-clutter-free-web-pages Add-ons: Evince browser plugin: An excellent alternative to read pdf directly in the web browser. Unfortunately the only way to install is via terminal. Is it possible to add as a complement or recommend it to be seen and installed from gnome-software? Webextension API: Mozilla announced a new implementation will allow Chrome support extensions (blink api) in Firefox, opening the possibility of universal extensions. Does this fit for the development of epiphany? https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions Other issues Plugin manager: The current ad blocker is very general.It does not allow enable/disable for some websites or block particular elements. Moreover, it is not possible to activate/deactivate a particular plugin. In my case, I have installed the Java plugin for use in some web, but I like to keep it off. Any feature click-to-play? Password Manager: The Password Manager in GNOME worked perfectly until I changed my desktop environment (XFCE). Now I can not access some web pages automatically and less asks me to save passwords. Any ideas?, there how to use it in conjunction with seahorse?
