OK -- thanks! I didn't; so I ran yum install epiphany-extensions and got
them. But maybe I was misunderstanding how they work. The help seems to be
written for programmers -- people who can code their own, starting with
inventing names and giving them commands.

Is that so? Or are there extensions, beyond the default ones that download
with epiphany-extensions, that some sug-technoid user like me can
recognize and choose or read descriptions of? (I did check boxes for ones
I recognized.)

I'm not asking Epiphany to turn into Firefox; I have uses for both. But IF
there are extensions I can use, available in addition to the ones I
downloaded, I sure would like to look them over. I'd like to get a home
page with multiple tabs, for instance, and more control over cookies ....
