If firefox must be shipped with tons of extensions, there's no reason to not adopt Epiphany instead.<br><br>IMHO, Firefox must be as Thunderbird is now : easily installable but a "plus" for power users.<br><br>I'm using Epiphany for a few months now and it's astonishing how I cannot use Firefox anymore : it's so slow, non-intuitive (not Gnome HIG), non-responsive. But that's not the point here ;-)
<br><br><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EpiphanyDefaultBrowser">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EpiphanyDefaultBrowser</a> is surprizing because :<br>- There's very few advantages in favor of Firefox !<br>- Advantages of Firefox are not advantages of the program itself : hype, well known, familiar, lot of extensions.
<br><br>As we speak about a default browser (in my mind, an user that can install a firefox extension can also install a whole new browser if needed), I would be curious to hear a bit more from people that believe that Firefox must be the default. (not on this list, on the wiki page please).
<br><br>As I said all the time : Remember that we are talking about default here, not about your personnal preference. What an user must see the first time he will start Ubuntu.<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 07/01/06,
