You replied only to me... It has integrated addblock features, and you can easily turn off JavaScript, and manage what cookies are sent/kept, Click to Play, HTML5 data that is kept, etc... It has a lot of nice features built in to it. So far I have really enjoyed using it. Importing bookmarks is pretty painless as well.

I personally use FF for the set of extensions I like (esp. NoScript and LastPass), and even on Chrome/Chromium like a certain set of extensions. For a basic user, though, having a super fast, low-resource, yet functional browser like Qupzilla would make for a great default.

I think the thing to offer the choice of browsers would be the ubiquity installer. I have never looked at what makes up ubiquity, so I have no idea. I am not even sure what language it was written in. I don't know what the dev options are for QupZilla, but it might end up being a nice browser for day-to-day browsing. I suppose the reality of switching to it at a later date will be if it is Actively developed, and has a strong developer community behind (i.e. wont disappear overnight), though WebKit itself has a strong community of developers, so it should be fair safe, and offer a good browsing experience. Also it would need to be in the official repositories to actually be included, and would need a lot of testing on a lot of machines. I was really just excited to have a Qt browser that is fast and has a lot of features to use on old computers when LXQt comes out one day in the future (and is fully usable). @sd you should check out QupZilla, it offers quite a bit. (Alt+Scroll Wheel for horizontal scrolling). Not sure if all the dev options available would suit you, but it allows for WebKit plugins. I just started trying it out, and am pretty impressed with it so far. It is a much nicer alternative to Opera, as Opera is closed source/proprietary.

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.

I 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.

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.
