Yeah I know, but in reality most users want to change settings.  If
there already is a preferences dialog why not add a few most commonly
needed settings?  It wouldn't make Epiphany harder to use.  Those who
don't grok checkboxes never even need to open the dialog.  IIRC there
were more options in the preferences dialog but they got removed.

Currently adblock is _hard_ to use because it just never can't work
properly without configuration.  I was annoyed when I saw the "it just
works" advertisement and it just didn't work.

I wouldn't complain if Epiphany wasn't such a great browser in other
respects.  I really like the UI.

Will do.  I like posting to a ML first because my complains/bug reports
often get lost in bugzilla.  MLs are better place to communicate.
