Tips

• Set the home page to about:blank to focus the location bar on new tabs.

• Do you want to extend Epiphany? Bookmarklets are active bookmarks which use Javascript.

• To resize the text-entry box of a smart bookmark, append %{width=#char} just after the %s, i.e http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=%s%{width=5}

• To resolve your smart bookmark with a specific charset, append %{encoding=<your charset>}, i.e http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=%s%{encoding="ISO-8859-1",width=5}
