The developers hate me argument. Sorry, but this is very childish point to make. I understand you feel that "text zooming with the wheel" is a basic feature for a browser, but I disagree. "Text zooming" is a basic feature, using the wheel to do it is just one of the ways to do it. Epiphany support "Text zooming" and will probably support using the wheel in the future. But right now there are other real missing features that probably should have higher priority than providing an alternate method of "text zooming". > It's a real shame Epy > was made the official Gnome/Fedora browser almost at once - other Gnome > projects learnt to try harder because they had to fight to get this > status. Epiphany was made official Gnome browser almost at once because it was designed specifically for Gnome, as opposed to many other apps that I think the devs tried very hard to make simple browser (which was what the Gnome project was looking for) and I think they succeeded (which doesn't mean that its perfect).
