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. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
