I have Gnome Shell installed, and I want to remove the Epiphany browser. But when I click uninstall in the software center its says that Gnome-core is a dependency of Epiphany, so it will be uninstalled too.

Is there anyway I can remove Epiphany without removing Gnome?

On running sudo apt-get -s remove epiphany as a commenter suggests, returns as not installed. Its still in my program list though.

I found out, the package that is installed is epiphany-browser. On running sudo apt-get -s remove epiphany-browser it still wants to remove gnome-core.
