Even if there is a measurable difference in image brightness or sharpness,
it's a moot point for me. If I can't download files or reply to e-mails,
the Squeeze version is useless to me. I'll check things out again once
the Sid version migrates to Squeeze.

I realized after I sent my last post that it couldn't be due to X
server settings. The Squeeze epiphany runs from the filesystem in the
chroot but it is displayed using the same X instance as is my regular
Lenny desktop. Anyway ...

To the OP: to workaround the save file bug you're getting, you could
right click on the file, do 'copy link address', then on the command
line hit Shift+Insert to paste the URL as the argument to wget. I do
all my file downloads that way.

I use Epiphany because they switched to Webkit.
On Ubuntu Lucid, it's working very well, I even use it to play youtube
HTML5 videos.
