Michael missed the premise that the user would not use obscure features,
would hardly alter the default configuration and would certainly not
install extensions.

The popup thing might be an issue though. Firefox comes with this
enabled right? It's possible to configure Epiphany to block popups, but
it does so in a way much less visual than Firefox. A small icon in the
lower left corner is the only indication there was a popup.

I didn't know that epiphany doesn't remember form inputs though. That is
a valid concern.
