Package: gnome-core Version: 1:3.14+3 Severity: wishlist Hi,
the changelog says: > meta-gnome3 (1:3.4+3) unstable; urgency=low [...] > * Install iceweasel instead of epiphany :( > See bug#682481. [...] > -- Josselin Mouette <j...@debian.org> Sat, 29 Sep 2012 10:36:58 +0200 Looking at #682481 shows this: On Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:46:38 +0200 Julien Cristau <jcris...@debian.org> wrote: > The default browser should be one that has at least vaguely credible > security support, IMO. epiphany doesn't qualify While I agree, that at the time, epiphany's security features were lacking at best, a lot has changed since then. I could list the most important changes, but fortunately Michael Catanzaro has already done that: http://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2014/10/18/gnome-web-3-14/ Checking (for example) https://blog.fefe.de/ shows, that this does indeed work; epiphany even tells me what the problem is when I click on the broken lock symbol (Unknown CA, CA Cert Signing Authority). I know that it's quite late in the release cycle, but I'd still appreciate it, if you would consider switching back to epiphany for jessie. I've personally done so a few months ago and I am more than happy with the decision. Best regards Alexander Kurtz
