Epiphany default browser again

In my post entitled "Cool Epiphany Feature", I said that I thought Epiphany should be the default browser in Ubuntu. At the time, I didn't realise that this had been considered for Breezy (current version of Ubuntu), and reconsidered for Dapper (next version of Ubuntu). There's a whole page on the Ubuntu Wiki about the pros and cons of Firefox and Epiphany as default browsers.

Also, someone started a new topic about the debate on the Ubuntu forum.

Anyway, I trust the Ubuntu developers in their decision; and I realise that it might be some work to stop Epiphany (and every other Gecko-based application) from depending on Firefox being installed. So I withdraw my statement.

(but I do think Epiphany is a great browser and that the move should be considered at each new Ubuntu version)
