Yes, that's a reasonable way to resolve these two issues. >>> >>> We can. There is a netbook build without Chrome. The big issue here is not that we have a build with Chrome. The big issues are that the *default* build we're promoting on the *front page* of the (FOSS) MeeGo project (1) Includes a non-Free browser, and (2) Has the word "Google" all over the download links/surrounding text. >>> But that doesn't help with having a nice browser by default. >> >> What about Firefox?

Firefox isn't nearly as good a browser as Chrome or > Chromium..... First, what's so bad about Firefox? Second, even if Firefox isn't as good as Chrome or Chromium, then why are we bundling-in Chrome and not just Chromium? If we were to use Chromium by default, then (1) We'd have a FaiF browser, and (2) We wouldn't have to display Google's name in such a visible manner for EULA notices. What do people think about using Chromium by default? --R _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
