Browsing the Web
If you are using the latest version of Raspbian, the web browser
is called Epiphany and it is installed when you install the OS.
Epiphany is a fast, lightweight web browser that uses the WebKit
layout engine (the same program that is in Apple’s Safari
browser, and some versions of Google Chrome). It has most of
the features that you can find in other browsers, such as:
bookmarks, tabs, browsing history, and saved passwords.
To open the web browser:
• On the Application Launcher, click Epiphany Web
Browser.
1. If you have not changed the default password, it is raspberry.
