When I filed a bug

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592612

the response from the epiphany developers was

"Thanks for taking the time to file this bug report. Can you reproduce
this problem with Epiphany 2.27.x with the WebKit backend?

Because the Gecko backend has been discontinued, there will be no more
bugfixes for versions 2.26 and earlier."

This plainly says >>> there will be no more bugfixes for version 2.26
and earlier. <<<

Now you say there will be bugfixes. Who am I to believe?
