Epiphany, alternative Linux à Chrome

Mis à jour le 1 novembre 2026

Notre avis

Epiphany is a decent replacement for Chrome only if you prioritize simplicity, privacy, and GNOME integration over features and compatibility. It handles basic browsing well and stays out of your way, but lacks Chrome extensions, syncing, and consistent performance on complex sites. If you rely on Google services, web apps, or need multiple profiles, Epiphany will frustrate you. It’s best suited for lightweight, privacy-focused browsing on GNOME systems where minimalism matters more than functionality.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Chrome

Epiphany does not directly open Chrome bookmarks or settings files. However, you can export bookmarks from Chrome as an HTML file and import it into Epiphany via its bookmark manager. Cookies, history, and passwords aren't transferable due to different backends. GNOME Keyring can store passwords manually entered in Epiphany, but won't pull them from Chrome's database.

In Epiphany, open the menu and import the HTML file
Manually re-enter important passwords into Epiphany to save in GNOME Keyring
