New default web browser on KDE Spin

[Eric Griffith]

Thanks for the reply BitLord.

I guess now I'm wondering what the goal of the KDE spin is then. Does the
KDE SIG want to provide what upstream gives, or what they think is best for
user experience with a KDE flair? If it's the former then why do we ship a
non default KDE theme? Because that definitely isn't "what upstream
provides." Upstream provides Breeze-- full stop.

If we want to provide best user experience with a KDE flair then swapping
some applications around should be an easy yes/no vote, since we as a spin
are already violating the "what upstream provides" idea.

Hell not even Suse or Kubuntu, who are far more KDE centric than us, ship
with KDE fully stock. They voted for best user experience, even if that
means some "KDE apps", like Konqueror, get binned.
