  since Epiphany depends on WebKit, which is
  huge, and lots of other libraries.
 
 Temporarily I am using Debian 9 (currently is Testing which
 provides latest version of packages) and by using "aptitude"
 I can
 give below information:
 
 libwebkit2gtk which is used by Epiphany is also used by
 below programs and totally 30 programs:
 
 (list is not complete)
 
 * Evolution
 * gir1.2-webkit2 -- rhythmbox-plugins depends on it.
 * Gthumb
 * libgoa-backend -- gnome control center depends on it.
 * Liferea
 * Yelp
 * zenity -- metacity and mutter depends on it.
 
 this means if GNOME is installed, there will be nothing or
 few dependency for install Epiphany, contrast this with
 Firefox:
 
 Epiphany has 26 dependency, Firefox ESR v45 has 33
 dependency
 
 epiphany-browser + epiphany-browser-data = 1.975 KB
 
 ONLY Firefox v45 package itself = 42MB !!
 
 above information clearly tells that install and keep
 up-date Firefox require huge network traffic, bandwith, and
 time; while if GNOME is installed, there will be nothing or
 few dependency for install Epiphany, and keep it up-date
 takes only about 2MB !! This is huge contrast!
