This is not a real advantage
since Epiphany depends on WebKit, which is
huge, and lots of other libraries.
Temporarily I am using Debian 9 (currently is Testing which
provides latest version of packages) and by using "aptitude"
I can
give below information:
libwebkit2gtk which is used by Epiphany is also used by
below programs and totally 30 programs:
(list is not complete)
* Evolution
* gir1.2-webkit2 -- rhythmbox-plugins depends on it.
* Gthumb
* libgoa-backend -- gnome control center depends on it.
* Liferea
* Yelp
* zenity -- metacity and mutter depends on it.
this means if GNOME is installed, there will be nothing or
few dependency for install Epiphany, contrast this with
Firefox:
Epiphany has 26 dependency, Firefox ESR v45 has 33
dependency
epiphany-browser + epiphany-browser-data = 1.975 KB
ONLY Firefox v45 package itself = 42MB !!
above information clearly tells that install and keep
up-date Firefox require huge network traffic, bandwith, and
time; while if GNOME is installed, there will be nothing or
few dependency for install Epiphany, and keep it up-date
takes only about 2MB !! This is huge contrast!
