Can we have chromium as the default browser in the next release?
My reasons being
1. Faster 2. Better support for HTML5 and CSS3 3. Excellent browser rendering capabilities 4. Appstore is as good as firefox's and getting better
The only issue I have is it creates multiple process
I agree with the positive features you mention, but have you seen the mess it is internally ?
-It duplicates a large number of components of the OS, Webkit, sqlite, ICU, etc...that's a hell for maintenance. (well, firefox does the same insanity) , but yeah, it is expected that at some point in the future google will fix this.
That's not too much of a concern though as long as - google fixes the issues of the bundled software - chromium stays a leaf package that can be version upgraded all the time - people accept that the browser's behavior may change any time for better or worse due to the version updates. So it's not much different from Firefox with the exception that Firefox does have predictable releases and clearly states what security isses have been fixed. Maintenance problems start if we can't version upgrade anymore for some reason. First and foremost the package needs to be submitted to Factory and pass the acceptance criteria though. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
