Gnome "In the GNOME philosophy, we want applications that do their job, only their job, and we want those to do it perfectly. Epiphany's job is to browse the web. Only browsing the web. But browsing the web in a GNOME fashioned way." Read more here and also here.

RE: Use a firefox extension?

Wouldn't be just much easier to create a extension that makes firefox follow GTK themes (and disable the ability to install other themes) and cleanups some parts of the UI?

Integration goes much deeper than just the surface.
http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/ProjectFAQ (FAQ 2.1) gives a number of arguments for this.

The Firefox UI is good, but doesn't let much room for UI ideas or paradigms that would be considered unfamiliar by windows users. In contrast, Epiphany not just follows the GNOME UI guidelines, but is also helping define the look and feel of other applications (if not for Epiphany, the Evince document viewer would probably have looked quite different, for example).
