Web reuses GNOME frameworks and settings,<ref name="linux-non-geeks_book" /><ref name="fedora-10_book" /> including the user interface theme, network settings, and printing. Settings are stored with GSettings and GNOME default applications are used for [[internet media type]]s handling. The user configures these, centrally, in GNOME's settings app.

The built-in preference manager for Web presents basic browser-specific settings while advanced settings which could radically alter Web's behavior can be changed with utilities such as '''dconf''' (command line) and '''dconf-editor''' (graphical).<ref name="running-linux_book" />

Web follows the [[GNOME Human Interface Guidelines]] and platform-wide design decisions.<ref name="suse-unleashed_book" /> For example, in Web 3.4, the menu for application actions was moved to the [[GNOME Shell]]'s top panel application menu and the [[menu bar]] was replaced with "super menu" button, which triggers the display of window-specific menu entries.<ref name="ars-34_design" />

Since GNOME 3.32, Web can adjust to various form factors with the help of [[Libadwaita]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sneddon |first=Joey |date=2023-07-01 |title=Slick New Feature Added to GNOME's Web Browser |url=https://www.omglinux.com/epiphany-browser-slick-tab-overview/ |access-date=2024-09-13 |website=OMG!
