Bug#570176: lxde: recommends - midori over iceweasel

[Andrew Lee]

retitle 570176 lxde: light weight and user friendly default browser for
lxde meta package
thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the recommendation.

I'd love to have a really light weight and better user friendly browser
for lxde meta package. However, the iceweasal is more user friendly at
the moment. And Ben Armstrong mentioned to me on IRC:

9:39  SynrG AndrewLee: there is a chromium package in preparation to
be uploaded 'soon'
19:40  SynrG AndrewLee: #520324

And it also use less resource:

19:43  SynrG as fore resource usage:
19:43  SynrG for*
19:43  SynrG   PID USER  PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM   
TIME+  COMMAND
19:43  SynrG 29312 synrg 20   0  198m  43m  21m S  0.0  2.1  
3:47.70 chrome 
19:43  SynrG 29339 synrg 20   0 71032  10m 7996 S  0.0  0.5  
0:01.00 chrome 
19:43  SynrG 29317 synrg 20   0 66380 8748 6840 S  0.0  0.4  
0:00.14 chrome 
19:44  SynrG AndrewLee: compares quite favourably against iceweasel

Kindly regards,

-Andrew

Bug#570176: lxde: recommends - midori over iceweasel

[cracksmoker]

Package: lxde
Version: 0.4.2-3
Severity: wishlist


Hi,


I am submitting a wishlist for the inclusion of Midori with the lxde 
metapackage.  The current debian lxde/xfce iso has iceweasel as the default web 
browser.  I think Midori as the default web browser is a better fit due to:


More lightweight
Webkit
HTML5 (h264) video support easily added through gstreamer
Supports custom adblock, extensions, and user scripts
Already packaged for debian and in the main repo


Squeeze has 0.1.8-1 but sid has a greatly improved 0.2.2-1.  Midori is also 
listed as the default web browser for xfce (http://www.xfce.org/projects/) so 
both desktop environments would benefit from inclusion on the lxde/xfce ISO's.

Thanks,
