I love epiphany but there are some behaviours that developer will never change IMHO, because are not bugs but design decisions.

As I said in my previous comment, I thought to start to write epiphany plugins (using python, for example), but ATM I can’t start another project… :-( ….

I am using a pretty old hardware also, which does not allow XVideo to play nicely with composed desktop, so i disable it often, I make a pertty simple script and put it on a button in panel:
#!/bin/bash -x
if [ `gconftool-2 -g /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager` == false ];
then
gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager –type bool true

else
gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager –type bool false

fi

Seems a blocked window…

@axet: I’m not comparing software…I’m just explain which problem i got from software i tried… ;-)

@corey: afaik on ephypany there’s a plugin which permit you to save session on a file manually…I don’t know any plugin which save automatically…the only way is to kill epiphany…(as explained by someone)

@sai: bao! :D

@bob: uhm ok :)

@debarshi ray: galeon? :P

@Rafael: I wanted to start to develop python epiphany plugins…but I hadn’t time to start other projects…so I probably remains with FF…I’m waiting epiphany + webkit…

@crf: uhm, dunno, I don’t think loading images and is really my problem…

do like me, stay with firefox 2.

Firefox 2 fills all my requisites, so it stills good for me (and all my addons works :-) ), but I will upgrade when firefox 3 become more stable.

(It made a big difference for me.)

Firefox can be set not to load images as well.

Why not try this?
