New web browser for the Raspberry Pi has been released

Eight months after it was first announced, Epiphany for the Pi has been released. This is a new web browser for the Pi, replacing the venerable but dated Midori, and comes with the following features:

  • Much-improved HTML5 support
  • A JavaScript JIT
  • Hardware-accelerated video decoding
  • ARMv6-optimized blitting functions
  • Better interactivity during page loading
  • Faster scrolling

You can catch Eben Upton’s full announcement about the new web browser over on the Raspberry Pi Foundation blog and you can see a working demo video at the start of this post.
