Third Party Extensions for Epiphany

Below is a list of several third party extensions for Epiphany. If you know of any other extensions (yours or otherwise), please email me.

As this list grows, this page in the future may evolve into some sort of interactive list where you can upload your own extensions. Right now, this is probably not organized in the best way possible. I would also appreciate feedback for suggestions on how to better categorize extensions to fix this.

Categories


Tabs

Only One Close Button

Courtesy Stefan Stuhr.

This extension has several purposes. The first is to get rid of the close buttons on all tabs. The second is to make the tab width more flexible; instead of a fixed width they will scale, so that there will first be overflow with many tabs open. The third is to make a close button available as a toolbar button.

Undo closing of tabs.

Simple Tab Close Focus

Courtesy Stefan Stuhr.

A simpler way to choose which tab to focus after closing another. The default in Epiphany is to fucus the last focused tab. With this extension, it will focus the tab to the right of the closed tab (if any; if not, it will focus the tab to the left).

Less Tab Label Border

Less border around tab labels. Sets the border to 1 pixel.

Urgent Content Notify

Set URGENT window manager hint when content changes in a window that doesn't have focus.

Simple Tab Close Focus Reversed

Courtesy Stefan Stuhr.

Another simpler way to choose which tab to focus after closing another. The default in Epiphany is to fucus the last focused tab. With this extension, it will focus the tab to the left of the closed tab (if any; if not, it will focus the tab to the right).

This extension is almost the same as the Simple Tab Close Focus extension, except that its behaviour is reversed.

Tab Key Tab Navigate

Use the tab key (Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab) to navigate between tabs.

Middle Click Tab Close

Courtesy Stefan Stuhr.

Close tabs by clicking on them with the middle mouse button. Also disables switching between tabs by scrolling over the tab bar with a mouse scroll wheel.

Hides the tab close buttons on non-focused tabs.


Toolbars

Menubar and Toolbar beside each other

Put the menubar and toolbar beside each other. There are some issues with customizing toolbars while in this mode; deactivate this extension when you want to do that.

Remove throbber

This extensions gets the throbber (the icon that moves funny as you load a website) from the toolbar, now it gives your throbber back when you unload it (I promise ll return all the throbbers I kept for myself).

Alt-D

Courtesy Christian Persch.

The "alt-d" extension adds ALT-D as shortcut to focus the location entry, for people who're not yet over their IE habit.

Window Icon

Courtesy Christian Persch.

The "window-icon" extension sets the active tab's site icon as window icon, in the same way as Epiphany versions <= 1.8 (this misfeature was removed from versions >= 1.9).


Sessions

SessionSaver

Courtesy Gustavo Gama.

I remember seeing a couple of messages at #epiphany or epiphany@gnome.org asking about how one might be able use the session recovery feature after a clean exit. I decided to give it a try and write an extension that does just that. It required a few changes to Epiphany's shell startup code, so it's certainly not the cleanest design, but it's a start.


Miscellaneous

Serverspy

Courtesy dieguito

This extension will behave as this one for Firefox. It allows you to see in the statusbar what the software being used by the server of the current page is.

Viewsource

Courtesy dieguito

This extension allows you to view the page source using gecko's view-source: urls, it now overrides the default epiphany Control+U shortcut so you can rely on it when using this extension.

Epilicious

Courtesy Magnus.

Epilicious is an extension for the Gnome web browser Epiphany. It lets you synchronise your local bookmarks with the bookmarks in a Delicious account. It still quite rough around the edges, but fully usable. As always, use at your own risk!

Simple Regexp-based URL Processor

Courtesy Vaclav Smilauer.

Allows one to use keyword-like shortcuts a la Galeon to simplify searching.

My fonts are better than yours

Courtesy Reinout van Schouwen and Wouter Bolsterlee.

Prevents particular sites from using fonts other than the ones that you want to use.
