[Bug 37622] either epiphany or firefox should be used as the only browser installed by default

[anonym]

Public bug reported:

Affects: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
One of Ubuntu's strengths is that the user is not overwhelmend with many
choices about which program to use for a particular task.  The community
should decide on ONE web browser to include in the default Ubuntu
install.  Other browsers should be available through synaptic.

Installing both firefox and epiphany by default breaks simplicity of the
system.  Ubuntu has made the decision to sacrifice the number of choices
available to the user in order to gain simplicity and easy of use.  By
focusing on a small subset of the total universe of available
applications, more polish can go into the default set.

Firefox is a more popular browser than epiphany, and has more plugins
available for it.  Although epiphany is also a great browser, users
looking to switch from windows will be used to firefox.
