High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Web (originally called Epiphany from 2003 to 2012) is a free web browser for the GNOME desktop environment. The browser was forked from Galeon after developers` disagreements about Galeon`s growing complexity. Since then Web has been developed as part of the GNOME project and uses most of GNOME`s technology and settings when applicable. As required by the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), Web maintains the clean and simple graphical user interface with only a required minimum number of features exposed to users by default; however, the browser`s functionality and configurability can be extended with official and third-party extensions.
