Epiphany como alternativa Linux ao Google Chrome

Atualizado em 18 de outubro de 2026

Nossa avaliação

Epiphany is a solid, lightweight alternative if you prioritize privacy and simplicity over feature density. It handles everyday browsing, news reading, and basic web apps well, thanks to its WebKit engine. However, it is not a direct drop-in replacement for power users who rely heavily on Chrome extensions, complex tab management, or specific enterprise features. If you use Chrome mostly for email, social media, and general browsing, Epiphany works fine. If you depend on a large extension ecosystem or advanced developer tools, you will find it lacking. It is best for users who want a clean, distraction-free browser that integrates tightly with the GNOME desktop environment.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Google Chrome

Epiphany cannot directly open Chrome's profile folder or binary files. You must manually export bookmarks and passwords from Chrome (usually as HTML or CSV) and import them into Epiphany. Cookies and site data are not directly transferable between the two due to different storage formats and engines.

Perguntas frequentes

Can I use Chrome extensions in Epiphany?

No, Epiphany does not support Chrome extensions. It has its own limited add-on system, but the selection is very small compared to Chrome.

Is Epiphany faster than Chrome?

Epiphany is generally lighter on RAM and CPU usage, which can make it feel snappier on older hardware. However, Chrome may load complex, JavaScript-heavy sites slightly faster due to its more aggressive optimization.

Does Epiphany sync data across devices?

Epiphany integrates with GNOME Online Accounts for some services, but it does not have a built-in, comprehensive sync feature for bookmarks and passwords across different browsers like Chrome Sync does.
