Sorry, you seem to be aiming for the flame fest, but I don't want to
get involved in it.  Other ubuntu-devel readers have probably gone
through this once (twice, thrice,...?) already, don't make them go
through it again.

In your other mails, you mention Mozilla getting more bugfixes because
of Windows.  Those bugfixes will benefit Epiphany as well, since
Epiphany embeds Gecko (this is what makes me believe you're mostly
ignorant of the issues, and are just flaming your ass off).  As for UI
itself, Epiphany is bound to have less UI bugs since it's so much
simpler.  Firefox, OTOH, should be considered to have a big mass of UI
bugs due to bad integration with Gnome (hint: instant apply of
configuration settings, doubled proxy settings, help system, button
order, complexity, localisation...).

Number of rarely used extensions is simply not relevant (just tell me
what percentage of Windows users are using IE unmodified, even though
it's total crap as compared to Epiphany 1.0, not to mention later
releases; actually, don't tell me, I don't care).  Those most useful
and interesting will show up as Epiphany extensions as well, and they
won't look like from another world at that.  

Anyway, stepping out of this discussion.

Cheers,
Danilo
