I'd much prefer to keep Firefox as default, it is still much more popular than Chromium and since Google as a company is considered highly controversial because of their attitude to privacy, using Chromium as default would antagonize a part of our potential users. Also while Chromium is technically open source, in practice Google discourages community collaboration, see this blog entry from the Fedora Chromium packager: http://spot.livejournal.com/314645.html While we are at it, why don't we rather include AdblockPlus enabled by default with EasyList+EasyPrivacy filters for Firefox? Blocking off ads and tracking scripts makes Firefox a lot faster too! _______________________________________________ Mageia-dev mailing list Mageia-dev@mageia.org https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev
