Glad you found Epiphany in Ubuntu, as Firefox seems to be the default 
browser. :-)

The roadmap for 1.6 is not completely finished yet. So it's a good thing 
you came here to discuss it.

Everyone agrees (I think) that the current download manager can be 
improved. There are two things suggested here which might happen:

1) Move 'simple' download tasks to Nautilus
2) Let epiphany extensions handle complicated downloader functions.

Number 2 has already been implemented; see http://gwget.sourceforge.net.
