Browse the web without YouTube, because by default there is no
rpmfusion, and with very bad support for latest HTML standard, and
slower.

And any user can find the Internet submenu containing both Firefox and
Konqueror, and  trust me, the number of users who know Firefox are
orders of magnitude the number of users who know Konqueror

Add 70MB to the already 1.1G, what will happen?
Dependency problems? when is the last time you saw this on stable Fedora?

I don't want two browsers, but you refuse to change the default from
an almost dead upstream browser that is slow, doesn't support latest
HTML well (and likely will not), does not support addons, to the
second most popular desktop browser that is actively developed.
I want it as and option to your default because this is better for
Fedora and especially to the new users.
