You should find it as the default browser for elementary OS. + +With GNOME 40, the Epiphany browser has had some [improvements and additions][2]. + +Behind the scenes, it regularly gets some exciting improvements and feature additions. And for that, you can opt for the Tech Preview version of GNOME Web tailored for early testers. + +Now, a new Canary flavor has been introduced that you can use to test features that are not yet available even in the tech preview build. + +### GNOME Web Canary Flavor + +![][3] + +GNOME Web’s “Canary” builds let you test features that are not even available in the latest [WebKitGTK][4] version. + +Do note that the canary builds are supposed to be extremely unstable, even worse than the development builds available as a tech preview. + +However, with the help of a Canary build, an end-user can test things way early in the process of development that can help find disastrous bugs. + +Not just limited to end-user early testing, a canary build also makes things easier for a GNOME Web developer. + +They no longer have to build WebKitGTK separately in order to implement and test a new feature. + +Even though there was a Flatpak SDK available to ease the process for developers, it was still a time-consuming task. + +Now, with that out of the way, the development pace can potentially improve as well. + +### How to Get the Canary Build? + +First, you need to add the WebKit SDK Flatpak remote using the commands below: + +``` +flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists webkit https://software.igalia.com/flatpak-refs/webkit-sdk.flatpakrepo +flatpak --user install https://nightly.gnome.org/repo/appstream/org.gnome.Epiphany.Canary.flatpakref +``` + +Once done, you can install the Canary by using the [Flatpakref file][5] provided. + +Testing a Canary build gives more users the ability to help GNOME Web developers in the process. So, it is definitely a much-needed addition to improve the development of the GNOME Web browser. + +For more technical details, you might want to take a look at the [announcement post][6] by one of the developers. + +#### Big Tech Websites Get Millions in Revenue, It's FOSS Got You! + +If you like what we do here at It's FOSS, please consider making a donation to support our independent publication.
