I would read the documentation on another system then, assuming the
system referred to is a production server and not a test server.  Even
it there is a viable need for an interactive web browser, I think the
use case would be so rare and added to the fact that people will have
differing preferences on which text browser is best, that including
any one in the default seed is a bad idea.
