what is the reason for not making epiphany the default browser?

[Lionel Dricot (aka Ploum)]

I'm not sure that this list is the best place for this discussion.

I don't see any new argument nor interesting ideas. It's becoming, like
always, a deaf-discussion : "I prefer red !  But I prefer blue. Red is
better. No, it's not, because I prefer blue".

So, I suggest to discuss this on the forum :

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=93219

and to read/complete the related wiki page :
