Browser Request: Gnome Web (aka Epiphany) #220

Epiphany is a browser that based on WebKit technology used by Safari.

And it supports PWAs.

So, it should be able to open websites in pwa mode. I'm not sure how possible make it with automatically however it should be a way to do it.

Epiphany web browser Read-only mirror: https://github.com/GNOME/epiphany Source code: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany

I suggest not supporting it as it has fewer users. Instead, we should support Safari.

In other hand, after we fully support Safari, if Epiphany use the exact same CLI as Safari, then nothing stops us from supporting Epiphany.

Since i'm not a mac user, i'm not sure about that however i guess Epiphany has different approach on application system. So it can not be ported from Safari.

Also, I agree with Epiphany support shouldn't be ordered before Safari or another bigger browser. However in my free time, i can try to add experimental support. It won't be so hard since have built-in support for PWA.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. Yes, I am okay with any PR to support any web browser. I prefer spending my time dealing with major web browsers. But yeah, we welcome any PR for other web browsers 👍
