Epiphany（或称 [GNOME Web](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Web/)）是一个 Linux 发行版上精简而功能强大的浏览器，你会发现它也是 elementary OS 的默认浏览器。


随同 GNOME 40 发布的 Epiphany 浏览器有一些 [改进和新增功能](https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-web-new-tab/)。


而在幕后，经常有许多令人兴奋的提升和新增特性。因此，你可以选择为早期测试人员量身定制的 GNOME Web 技术预览版。


现在，它发布了一个新的 Canary 版本，你可以使用它来测试甚至在技术预览版中都没有的特性。


### GNOME Web Canary 版本

GNOME Web 的 Canary 版本允许你测试甚至没有出现在最新 [WebKitGTK](https://webkitgtk.org) 版本中的特性。


注意 Canary 版本应该是极其不稳定的，甚至稳定性比开发者技术预览版更差。


可是，使用 Canary 版本，终端用户可以在开发过程中的早期进行测试，帮助开发者发现灾难性 bug。


不只是终端用户的早期测试，Canary 版本还让 GNOME Web 的开发者的工作更轻松。


他们不再需要为了实现和测试一个新特性，来单独构建 WebKitGTK。


尽管开发者有一个 Flatpak SDK 可以简化开发人员的流程，但是这仍然是一项耗时的任务。


现在，没有了这个阻碍，开发速度也有可能提升。


### 怎样获得 Canary 版本?


首先，你需要使用以下命令添加 WebKit SDK Flatpak 远端仓库:



```
flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists webkit https://software.igalia.com/flatpak-refs/webkit-sdk.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install https://nightly.gnome.org/repo/appstream/org.gnome.Epiphany.Canary.flatpakref

```

完成后，你就可以使用提供的 [Flatpakref 文件](https://nightly.gnome.org/repo/appstream/org.gnome.Epiphany.Canary.flatpakref) 安装啦！


测试 Canary 版本可以让更多的用户能够在此过程中帮助 GNOME Web 的开发人员。所以，这绝对是改进 GNOME Web 浏览器开发的急需补充。

Epiphany or [GNOME Web](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Web/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) is a minimal and yet capable browser for Linux distributions. You should find it as the default browser for elementary OS.

With GNOME 40, the Epiphany browser has had some [improvements and additions](https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-web-new-tab/).

Behind the scenes, it regularly gets some exciting improvements and feature additions. And for that, you can opt for the Tech Preview version of GNOME Web tailored for early testers.

Now, a new Canary flavor has been introduced that you can use to test features that are not yet available even in the tech preview build.

## GNOME Web Canary Flavor

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/08/Epiphany-Canary.png)

GNOME Web’s “Canary” builds let you test features that are not even available in the latest [WebKitGTK](https://webkitgtk.org/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) version.

Do note that the canary builds are supposed to be extremely unstable, even worse than the development builds available as a tech preview.

However, with the help of a Canary build, an end-user can test things way early in the process of development that can help find disastrous bugs.

Not just limited to end-user early testing, a canary build also makes things easier for a GNOME Web developer.

They no longer have to build WebKitGTK separately in order to implement and test a new feature.

Even though there was a Flatpak SDK available to ease the process for developers, it was still a time-consuming task.

Now, with that out of the way, the development pace can potentially improve as well.

## How to Get the Canary Build?

First, you need to add the WebKit SDK Flatpak remote using the commands below:

```
flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists webkit https://software.igalia.com/flatpak-refs/webkit-sdk.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install https://nightly.gnome.org/repo/appstream/org.gnome.Epiphany.Canary.flatpakref
```


Once done, you can install the Canary by using the [Flatpakref file](https://nightly.gnome.org/repo/appstream/org.gnome.Epiphany.Canary.flatpakref?ref=news.itsfoss.com) provided.

Testing a Canary build gives more users the ability to help GNOME Web developers in the process. So, it is definitely a much-needed addition to improve the development of the GNOME Web browser.

For more technical details, you might want to take a look at the [announcement post](https://base-art.net/Articles/introducing-the-gnome-web-canary-flavor/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) by one of the developers.
