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
Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.
