3.18 big release and future plans

[Bastián Díaz <diaz bastian openmailbox org>]

Hello, I am delighted the evolution that epiphany has taken, and this 
release I have become my default web browser.
However, I have some doubts about its future performance and features 
that would make before writing a report.

Improvements:

Pin epiphany tabs: This is a feature used by many browsers (safari 
recently) and is convenient to maintain some websites or webapps always 
open.

Warning when closing multiple tabs: It may seem minor, but it is 
important to avoid mistakes.

Reading view: Another practical element of modern web browsers.

Add-ons:

Evince browser plugin: An excellent alternative to read pdf directly in 
the web browser. Unfortunately the only way to install is via terminal. 
Is it possible to add as a complement or recommend it to be seen and 
installed from gnome-software?

Webextension API: Mozilla announced a new implementation will allow 
Chrome support extensions (blink api) in Firefox, opening the 
possibility of universal extensions. Does this fit for the development 
of epiphany? https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions

Other issues

Plugin manager: The current ad blocker is very general.It does not allow 
enable/disable for some websites or block particular elements. Moreover, 
it is not possible to activate/deactivate a particular plugin. In my 
case, I have installed the Java plugin for use in some web, but I like 
to keep it off. Any feature click-to-play?

Password Manager: The Password Manager in GNOME worked perfectly until I 
changed my desktop environment (XFCE). Now I can not access some web 
pages automatically and less asks me to save passwords.
Any ideas?, there how to use it in conjunction with seahorse?

Cheers
