I always wanted to daily drive Gnome Web but WebKitGTK was always miles behind the mainstream browsers in performance and stability but this update completely changes everything. I never had an experience this smooth and stable on Epiphany ever. It handles all the heavy websites fine with no stuttering or bugs and media playback is perfect now.

Obviously the main thing that is missing is extensions and that will keep a lot of people away but they really needed to focus their work on the engine and they finally did it.

I switched over from Xfinity to T-Mobile internet a few weeks ago now and my experience has been almost perfect. I'm consistently getting around 500mbps down and 40mbps up but I can reach a gigabit if I'm right next to the router.

The connection is also really stable and I have no problem gaming on it. Ping is usually around 20 to 45 and it doesn't fluctuate at all. It's also a hell of a lot more reliable than Xfinity was because I didn't have a single outage yet.

The only thing that sucks is some small websites I use block T-Mobile for some reason but I got around this by using a VPN which still sucks but it's a worthy tradeoff.

I don't make post like these but I'm genuinely impressed and feel like I need to share my experience for anyone thinking about trying it out. My area just got it so this can change over time but right now it's been great.
