I want to make my point clear:

There are several reasons to prefer Firefox:

1. Better support for Orca

2. Better with low RAM

3. Many good plug-ins for security, ad-blocking etc.

I think much more than 5 % of the current Lubuntu users prefer Firefox
and for several reasons. I have no statistics, and if that is necessary
we can check it with a poll.

It's not a big issue for most of us, but I do not agree that "95% of
people will not be enjoying the most popular Chromium because of the 5%
of the people".

By the way, next year *you* or *I* might need Orca. And then suddenly it
is a big issue.
