I see no reason not to give a choice of at least 2 browsers during install.
Perhaps make FF default but give the option of midori/chrome. This would
allow the install on very resource limited machines of a smaller browser.

I’ve set my panel to automatically hide. When I have a maximised window

I would expect the panel to go over the title bar. Is this supposed to

My personal vote is for Firefox and I will tell you why:
The perfect default browser is one such that everyone will be capable of
using it without requiring to replace it. This, in a perfect world, would
be a simple decision, but we must consider at least two attributes of each
browser: speed and
Please, consider that a browser needs one VITAL thing: manage
certificates. Midori doesn't, Chrome does bad. Only Firefox and Arora
can do it properly, but you already know the differences between them
(size, speed, etc).

It's not an option, because providing a large scale of applications will
result in no support for all. The point to choosing default applications
is to provide good support and integration of those applications, and

Chances are someone who is installing Lubuntu on an old/slow/lowend
machine also does not have internet connectivity (or its slow/expensive).
So if this idea of a post-install step is being considered at least a default
browser/office app etc should be available on the CD...

Gee this seems to be a really good idea. Browsers (especially) are almost
like religion. Pick something small and tight for the default (probably
Chromium), but easily let the installer override the default during the
install process.
This is a great idea.

Unfortunately, whichever browser you chose, a bunch of potential users are
