I disagree! With the switch to the Webkit backend the about:config 
page has been gone, sure. However, the sheer removal of the 
configuration interface doesn't mean some the the options aren't still 
needed anymore.

There is still no way to allow for a blank page in a newly-opened tab 
and the /apps/epiphany/general/load_on_new_tab gconf key that has been 
introduced once (and that fixed this bug) has disappeared since 2.18.0-1.

Please add back the possibility to either (a) show a blank page and a 
blank URL field or (b) the Homepage and a blank URL field in a newly 
opened tab.
