I think this is one of those time when we are all going to agree to disagree...
Julien, if we go with Midori, can we put a script or shortcut on the
desktop that will install FF?
Personally I think this would fit the bill, have a lite browser, but
give users who don't know very much a simple way
I know we will not be all agree after this discussion. But I 'm
collecting arguments for all browsers to make a decision after the
discussion.

light... it does support flash and plugins
My experience with other browsers in the past have always been that
they are lacking and playing catchup with FF and IE.

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

I just checked out arora and midori (midori from ppa). I'm thinking
midori is the best *default* option.
If people want firefox, they can easily apt-get it anyay, but if we
need to pick a default, and want to
keep with the lightweight principles, I think midori is the way to go...

Hello there,
In my opinion, I think we should keep in mind about the RAM consumption for
the first place for Lubuntu. It really should run smooth in PCs with 128 MB
or lower RAM capacity. Because, in 512MB Ubuntu can run. In 192 MB, Xubuntu
can run easily. But in 128 MB or 96 MB of RAM no distro
What about Kazehakase which is a stripped down Firefox.
Firefox is a crappy browser once you try other stuff. The only thing I have

with.

Firefox has its good points. But packed with lots of plugins it also sucks at
memory usage.

almost 10 Tabs within chromium)
+ Stable (Thirdparty plugins, like JAVA and Flash don't bring
i've been using Opera, Firefox and Chrome in lxde and xfce environments

should consider Opera option beyond the open sources issues.

IMHO, yes, first preference is for Firefox, second for Midori (with webkit?) and
if one has significantly lower memory usage footprint then go for that!
