Thanks for your feedback!

A friend of mine runs Gentoo but complains they are in general pretty 
slow with catching up to stable GNOME releases. Myself, I use the 
GPWGNOME packages on top of Mandriva Cooker to test out the latest GNOME 
stuff. (http://gpwgnome.osknowledge.org/)

If you like to have a homepage to automatically open a URL when you 
launch the browser, you can drag a bookmark to your desktop or panel and 
click on that to launch Epiphany. Then set the home page to blank.

Another possibility is to use the 'blank new tab' extension by Pete 
O'Grady: http://www.peteogrady.com/temp/epiphany-blank-new-tab/

Put the files in your ~/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions directory.
