    I think you may have inserted the wrong link at the bottom of the article.

    The link in the article takes you to a git commit for the Enlightenment DE, rather then Epiphany.

      and yes, as a web publisher relying upon ads for those not using our ad-free service, frankly got tired of reading the change-log when seeing so many mentions in this release to AdBlock
      Yep, buy a premium account, guys, if you want ad-free content!

        As a content writer myself, honestly can understand the need for ads, but to continually gripe about adblockers. I know some people who take that as a challenge and keep it going because their mentality is typically "stick it to the authority."

        Keep in mind this is a suggestion and by no means do you have to do it, but loosen up a bit, just keep writing articles.

        I know Friday myself will be getting a premium account just for the sake of support..

          Did you try applying for Acceptable Ads? I think this site will get whitelisted, I hardly notice ads readings articles.

            Haha, very funny! I tried the so-called "ad-free service" and paid for it for two years.
            The only problem being it would log me out every day, meaning I would still see ads on phoronix.com on a daily basis.

              Considering that advertisement networks are the prime source of malware using web browsers as a vector, these days, suggesting not to use an ad blocker is the equivalent of suggesting people to just not use an anti-virus when using Windows.

                It's funny how people still use 'Epiphany' and 'Totem' despite GNOME devs officially renaming them (to 'Web' and 'GNOME Videos' respectively).

                  Yep, I still use 'nautilus' to navigate my folders, 'epiphany' to see websites, and 'totem' to view videos. If you think about it, those names were carefully chosen.

                    I only use Epiphany these days because I need to remember how to spell it when I launch it from CLI, honestly the move wont be complete until they rename the binaries but then that oversimplification might just add more confusion whereas I know what Epiphany and Nautilus are.

                    I want to add that I heard from Epiphany devs that a always-on location bar is a feature too of the new 3.24 release which is nice because I dont like things on my screen constantly changing to "simplify", I use the address bar a lot and always-visible is a welcome change to me.

                    I also imported all my bookmarks and its a bit of a nightmare and freezes up sometimes, I've since switched to file based bookmarks so they're browser agnostic.

                    It seems like a gnome-bookmarks app would make sense to add to Places to me, and then just connect that to whatever browser while keeping it seperate from the App itself.
