I am trying Epiphany-browser today. This is an open source browser developed for the Gnome desktop environment. I must say that it took a long time coming but Epiphany is ready for primetime. I love Gnome. So a browser that's tightly integrated with it has been sought after. Tight integration is well and good but the browser must have the features demanded by the average internet user. These features include bookmark management, password management, built in security, tab browsing and update management. It must do all these without sacrificing speed and resources. I've tried Epiphany lots of time before and I believe this time it has found the right balance. http://amplify.com/u/arsqn http://amplify.com/u/brsqp
Encryption is the topic of week. I wrote about it in a related post here. While encryption is a very good idea, doing it and doing it every day as part of your work flow is another thing. My view is that if you're already using an email client then it is easier, simpler and more convenient to adopt encryption. That is not the case if you're using a webmail service. If you are using the browser to check, compose and send your email, what are your options? The answer is: it's complicated. Looking for a way to do encryption with Google Chrome and Gmail, I found this. I also read that Google just released code for email encryption as open source. But it's a long way to being used by end users. The extension for Google Chrome works fine if the recipient also uses Google Chrome. But I went ahead and check this on Evolution.
