Resize extension for Epiphany

Epiphany is the web browser for the GNOME desktop. The Resize extension is a quick hack to keep Epiphany’s windows at constant size and position. It works perfectly with Epiphany 2.20.1. Few key/values pairs are saved using GConf2 (/apps/epiphany/extensions/resize).

The Resize extension allows you to resize the Epiphany windows to pre-defined sizes and to custom size and position. The user can simply resize the window and place it somewhere on his screen. Then, by pressing the “Save size and position” entry in the Tools menu, the Resize extension will save the user’s settings. Furthermore, the user is able to choose how the Resize extension should behave: check the Resize new windows, Resize new tabs and Resize pop-ups options.

Download

Install
Let’s assume you are running Debian/Ubuntu and Epiphany 2.20.*. Uncompress the resize_*.tar.gz archive and run:
