So given that firefox has/will have native ogg support. Will webkit have native ogg support? If not will will you fork webkit so it does have native ogg support? Thank you!

May I repeat that I absolutely love the idea. We need more diversity when it comes to standards-compliant web browsers. And it's a great chance to give Epiphany some well deserved exposure. Now it seems most distros think "it's just Firefox and we already ship one Firefox." ♥ For the people concerned about a11y:
