Hi,<div><br></div><div>in lubuntu 13.10 firefox will be the default browser. If it does not work well and Chromium gets better we will discuss again for 14.04.</div><div><br></div><div>The discussions of 'which is best' have been finished. Get on board with Ffox for 13.10, that is what we will be shipping as the default. Use the (now working) Lubuntu Software Center to install any other browser (or any other application you want) as a replacement.</div>

Can an option be added to the install process that gives the user an<br>ability to choose their browser?</blockquote><br>Sry to tell you this, but this is in my opinion bullshit if we provide a <br>software center and the ability to easily choose your browser freely from <br>

I have been using Lubuntu for over a year on daily basis, mostly on my<br>netbook. I have both Firefox and Chromium installed, and I use<br>Chromium exclusively.<br><br>(-) Firefox: you cannot Shift + mouse wheel to scroll horizontally in<br>
<br>Firefox - this is a limitation on Gecko engine - there is no way to come<br>around this. In my netbook, this makes Firefox useless to browse any page<br>which is wider that screen size. Chromium handles Shift + mouse wheel<br>
perfectly.<br><br>(+) Chromium: Runs in a sandbox. As a user browsing web, Chromium is safer<br>than Firefox. May be delivering an apparmor profile for Firefox can<br>address<br>this, but Chromium has this built it. A downside of this is that Chromium<br>
does not run in the Guest account. The only reason I still keep Firefox,<br>is<br>to have to for guests that want to check email via Lubuntu Guest account.<br><br>(+) Chromium opens faster that Firefox. Wh

browsing they are mostly<br>same.<br><br>(+) I have never had a browser related crash by Chromium - I use both<br>32bit version of Lubuntu on my netbook and the 64 bit one in my laptop. I<br>have flash installed, but click to play for plugins.<br>
<br>(-) Firefox consumes by default more screen estate than Chromium.<br><br>(-) Chromium is somehow tingly connected to Google, but at some extent so<br>is Firefox by default. You can tweak both not to send any data to Google.<br>
If really a concern than use SWIron fork instead on Chromium.<br><br>In short, I think all people that use Lubuntu have their own idea on what<br>apps to use. On every Lubuntu update I have to uninstall most of what you<br>
guys provide. The less user apps you provide the better - may be provide<br>only a list of recommended apps, and let each decide on his own.<br><br><br>--<br>Lubuntu-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br>
