I'm not complaining, Epiphany can do whatever it wants, who am I to say
what keybindings your app should use.  The OP asked for any objections
that might be raised to making it the default browser, and like it or
not, if people are used to Firefox, this one will come up.  It's not
like I was just spouting an unsolicited opinion, someone asked the list
for feedback, and I provided it.
