Ship epiphany, make it the "default" browser?

[Scott Balneaves]

After a few weeks of testing, I'd like to make a, err... Possibly controversial
suggestion. :)

Certainly not for Lucid, but say, for 12.04, it might be interesting to switch
to Epiphany for Edubuntu's "Default" web browser.  Here's why:

1) It's based on WebKit, which, with my initial testing, works MUCH better on
thin clients, with much less X server ram usage.
2) It integrates very well into Gnome, being the default Gnome browser.
3) (A biggie) it speaks gconf, and you can do lockdown on it in Pessulus and
Sabayon.
4) With my newfound idears gained from playing with evoldap, getting som gconf
setting via an LDAP backend shouldn't be too hard.

Not saying we should.  Just saying it might be worth... examining, post lucid.

Cheers,
Scott
