GNOME Web, called Epiphany until 2012 and still known by that code name,[8] is a free and open-source web browser based on the GTK port of Apple's WebKit rendering engine, called WebKitGTK. It is developed by the GNOME project for Unix-like systems. It is the default and official web browser of GNOME, and part of the GNOME Core Applications.

Despite being a component of GNOME, Web has no dependency on GNOME components.[6]

GNOME Web is the default web browser on elementary OS,[9] Bodhi Linux version 5[10][11][12][13] and PureOS GNOME Edition.[14]
