GNOME Web Canary is Now Available to Test Bleeding Edge Features
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
Epiphany or [GNOME Web][1] is a minimal and yet capable browser for Linux distributions. 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
|

|
||
|
||
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.
