Hi,
I had a look into Epiphany in GNOME Web and I think that it follows quite a
straightforward approach. Although I didn't quite get the concept of
annotations and since I use Ubuntu I won't be able to test Edge. Could you
help me out with that.
Thanks
Thanking You,

I suspect we need a GSOC task to make this project visible. The GSOC
task could define the starting point (webkit2 or new branch). We
still have Richa Sehgal's contribution from last year to integrate
with Browse. Godiard believes that some developer tools are
available in Browse but not directly by the toolbar. I would like to
see a 'generic' toolbar button like Firefox/Googles 3x3 array of
dots to open up a more complete set of options including access to
developer tools like 'show source page', and any like Firebug that
can be made available. <br><span><font color="#888888">

Hello,<br>
<br>
Please have a look at the pull requests and the 'webkit2' branch..
Testing and contributions are appreciated.<br>
<br>
I think this port is very close to done, so would you have enough
to do in your project?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
