I'd make suggestions on GNOME Live!, but the process requires creating yet another username/password and give out my e-mail address. I'm unwilling to do so, particularly for a one-time edit.
Apart from the aforementioned performance defects (compared to Opera or even Konqueror) and inability to create a usable layout (moving the tab bar, for starters), the lack of support for keyboard shortcuts is particularly apalling. Epiphany, to the best of my knowledge, does not support moving through page elements with the arrow keys (let alone with vi keys), offers no way to meaningfully define shortcuts, etc.
The lack of session management, undo capabilities, page scaling, and so forth are just more reason to look elsewhere.

The lack of session management
I surf the web, have epiphany and some webpages open, logout and back in, and voila here it is again: epiphany with all webpages open on the same workspace i left it.
undo capabilities
Sorry, can you explain what you exactly mean? I'm not sure what you want to undo.
page scaling
ctrl++ and ctrl+- Or even better: Add the zoom combobox to the toolbar and it will automagically remember the zoom level for every page you visit.
offers no way to meaningfully define shortcuts
Besides the already available shortcuts, you can add/edit them by hovering over the menu entry and pressing the keys you want to assign to it.

You can always use mailinator for one time accounts.

Epiphany does support standard Ctrl based shortcuts. If you want it to support vi shortcut, you can always use python to write an extension.

It's horrendously slow, eats RAM like popcorn, and lacking in even the most basic functionality. It also ships with an absolutely inane layout that is a PITA to fix.
I'm sorry you were disappointed in Epiphany. However I wonder what you're comparing it with? Epiphany is demonstrably up to par with Firefox speed-wise (sometimes even faster) and memory-wise, and editing the toolbar to your liking is a breeze with drag-n-drop. You may not like the default layout for the toolbar, but be assured that it has been chosen after careful consideration and analysis of use cases.
Nevertheless, suggestions for improvement are always welcome. ( http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/Suggestions )
