I would hesitate to make Chromium "standard" until the browser is
demonstrated to be compatible with most popular Chrome plug-ins
(especially security plugins.) Sure, Chromium might be a good
alternative for lower spec machines. Still many lubuntu users will end
up removing the Chromium package pronto, as I did with older lubuntu
releases. Maybe it'd be better to offer users a choice between Chromium
and FF. Can this be done through the software center? I don't use the
software center, so I don't know its possibilities.

This is simply amazing. I think this would make an excellent

will have to do some testing to see what all it can handle, and how
fast everything is. With LXQt coming soon... this would be an
excellent addition to the lineup... though I just started using it 5
min ago... so this enthusiasm may be premature.

I have never used Midori with Lubuntu so cannot comment on it. FF
works well on my Lubuntu machine but I have been using QupZilla
lately. It is very fast, opening in less than 2 secs and page
response it also very fast. It is lightweight with minimal plug-ins
but does all that I need, you may wish to try it out. There is a ppa
for it here:

I have found Opera runs very fast on my oldest computers, though
it is
proprietary. If you have a REALLY slow computer it makes using the
internet much more plesant, though I would rather it be free and
open.
I did a lot of testing of all the web browsers on that computer,
before
I gave it to someone. I tried Chromium, Firefox, Opera, Dooble,
Midori,
Seamonkey (well most of the browsers in the repos, except Konq)
and all
of them took +5 Seconds to open. Firefox took about 1 second
less than
Chromium, and Opera took about 2 seconds, pages also responded much
quicker, than in the others, and if I had a bunch of stuff going it
wouldn't bog down completely. Midori was also pretty fast (for
navigating), but loaded the same as the others.
If your computer is REALLY slow I'd suggest tryng it out for a more
pleasant experience. If not, enjoy Firefox.
