<div dir="ltr">Hi Ronald,<div><br></div><div>firefox went on to a diet. when <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1096603" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1096603</a> first arrived, it was "all hands to the pumps". a LOT of testing was carried out. The most telling comment was <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1096603/comments/4" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1096603/comments/4</a> I've been in regular contact with Chad (he's even put up my occaisonal frustrations). I happen to like chromium and will continue to use it along with firefox (they are both currently running on my system). Should it happen that chromum becomes less RAM hungry for the low resource machines, lubuntu will switch back faster than you can blink! We are browser agnostic, and will ship which ever one that servers the low resource machines the best.</div>

What's the reason to move to Firefox? Chromium is a much better browser<div><div><br><br>On Saturday, 12 October 2013, Phill Whiteside wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>whilst in 13.10 we are moving to firefox as the default browser, support for chromium continues. To this end, version 30 has hit testing. Chad would specifically like it tested on low ram machines to check it is okay on low ram machines.
