I Replaced Chrome With GNOME Web, Here's How It Went
The GNOME web browser is one of the official GNOME core applications. GNOME core applications are sometimes bundled with GNOME installations. They let you perform some common tasks right from the get-go, once you've installed GNOME. Things like the System Monitor and Calculator are core apps.
GNOME Web is one of the long-standing members of the core group, it's been around since 2002, when it was forked from another---now defunct---project called Galeon. Until 2012 it used to be called Epiphany. You'll still see this name in use here and there, like the names of the installation packages.
GNOME Web conforms to the GNOME human interface guidelines, and it's written using the GTK toolkits. This delivers an authentic native GNOME appearance and behavior. GNOME Web reflects your current GNOME theme, and it looks and feels like an integral part of GNOME universe, not an add-on.
Underneath the hood, GNOME web uses Apple's WebKit framework as its browser engine. This is the layout and rendering engine used in Apple's Safari browser. It was ported to GNOME as WebKitGTK.
