Notice that the web is not made of "simple" documents. HTML+Javascript+CSS do know how to be tricky and complex, so final memory usage will always depend on the web page design. I am happy with Ephy/WebKit's memory usage. @ulrik: WebKit was designed from scratch so that it would be able to run on embedded devices; the GTK+ port has been used in some small devices, such as the iRex Digital Readers (see http://blog.barisione.org/2009-02/webkit-gtk-on-irex-digital-readers/), though I am pretty sure its memory usage has not been investigated/profiled/optimized.

It's sad that even on new computers, the web browser always feels like a brick. How can something that only should show documents be so heavy? WebKit will help in this regard right?

Is there any chance of having the epiphany extensions packaged for epiphany-webkit at some point? Thanks, this is really looking promising!
