We are already defaulting to firefox, chromium and, finally, epiphany in defaults.list (from gnome-session ebuild). On the other hand, we keep having epiphany.desktop in favorites dock bar. I think we should do as Fedora here: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gnome-shell.git/tree/gnome-shell-favourite-apps-firefox.patch I would even add both: chromium and firefox desktop files (that way, for people having both installed, they will have both, people having only one of them installed, would only have that one) I noticed this problem just some minutes ago when my father was browsing with epiphany and noticed he wasn't unable to enter his ING account.
unable -> able (double negation from spanish :S)
That sounds like an ok change. I'm not sure I would remove epiphany from the list though if you are going to have firefox _and_ chrome in the list.
I would do so as we will be putting two browsers in the list and epiphany will likely be always installed due gnome metas :/ But probably will have a different feeling tomorrow ;) (well, current upstream defaults give a bit bloated bar when all apps are installed: gnome-documents, libreoffice, shotwell... not sure how would look like if adding the two (useful) browsers too)
