Workaround: <Escape><Enter>. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, but you might want to file a Bugzilla bug about the behaviour. I know I get annoyed by it too, but I think it could be considered non-intuitive to make Enter in that text widget change the currently-browsed page half of the time. > Second complaint: when pasting text in the url bar, epiphany assumes > it's a url even though it might just be a string I want to search in > google.

You can file a bug against that, too :). By the way, to file bugs, head to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. Don't be afraid of all the text fields; you can ignore most of them quite happily :). > Other than this (and the usual new tab focus and adblock issues:), I > have to say I'm impressed with this browser. The adblock extension does in fact work, but it requires either: (a) a couple of Mozilla patches: follow the trail from http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany_2fFeatureDesign_2fAdBlockExtension - or - (b) patience, because Epiphany will crash every time you quit Take your pick! In the case of (a) you'll have to recompile Mozilla and then compile adblock; in the case of (b) you can get away with only compiling adblock. No distributor is going to distribute a crashing extension, so adblock will have to wait until those two Mozilla bugs are fixed. > I especially like the fact > that I can now search my bookmarks from the url bar.
