New default web browser on KDE Spin

[Eric Griffith]

We have the resources. We may as well use them. I'm not denying that
developers can get sloppy and should be more mindful of resources. But 70mb
seems like a very small price to pay to ensure a user has some level of
instant familiarity with a new system. Same reason why Apple put Safari,
and used the Safari icon, when they made iOS and why Chrome has mostly
replaced "Browser" on newer Android systems as the default web browser.
Familiarity matters.
