Web browsers
There are three web browsers installed by default with Raspbian. These are Epiphany,
Dillo, and Netsurf. Each of these web browsers are designed for different purposes. It
is also possible to install a version of Firefox onto your Raspberry Pi called Ice Weasel.

Epiphany
Epiphany (now called Web) is a free, easy-to-use web browser that has a clean and
minimalistic user interface. It uses the WebkitGTK+ rendering engine, similar to
what is used in many other web browsers such as Safari and Google Chrome.
It is a fast, fully-fledged web browser with support for JavaScript and all modern
web standards. It is highly recommended as your first choice of web browser on
your Raspberry Pi.
