I'd much prefer to keep Firefox as default, it is still much more 
popular than Chromium and since Google as a company is considered 
highly controversial because of their attitude to privacy, using 
Chromium as default would antagonize a part of our potential users.

Also while Chromium is technically open source, in practice Google 
discourages community collaboration, see this blog entry from the 
Fedora Chromium packager:

While we are at it, why don't we rather include AdblockPlus enabled by 
default with EasyList+EasyPrivacy filters for Firefox?
Blocking off ads and tracking scripts makes Firefox a lot faster too!
