</I>><i> Usually the more the extensions you have the

</I>><i>
</I>
I agree, I think the user should be in charge of the extensions. How
many of us have heard people say that "Hey, I never installed the Yahoo!
bar!" or "Hey, I never installed Safari!". Users are knowledgeable
enough to make up their own mind on extensions. Browser use is generally
a user specific preference.
If Mageia is going to focus more on being a good KDE distro, then it
should go along with the defaults with KDE -- Kmail/Konqueror. But, if
Mageia is to decide on a "flagship" choice of browser, I think that most
computer users these days know of Firefox and this would be a good/safe
choice to use as a Mageia endorsed/default browser, but without any
extensions pre-installed.
The user can tailor his preferences later on depending on his/her
browser choice.
