</I>>><i> it's not useful all over, I think I can do without it if I have

</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> IMHO, I think no extra extensions should be installed by default, the
</I>>><i> user should make a choice of which ones he wants (and installing any
</I>>><i> extensions by default without the "user's consent" isn't ideal too, if

</I>>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I agree, I think the user should be in charge of the extensions. How

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

</I>Personally I use Gnome, so I would rather that Mageia would not become
too KDE-centric. (Actually I use Mozilla Seamonkey instead of Mozilla
Firefox, but that is another question.)
If Kmail/Konqueror is installed by default, then the enormous KDE
libraries must be installed, all of which I (or any other Gnome user)
will have to remove.
If there is a default browser installed, is much better if it is
KDE/Gnome agnostic, like Firefox.
(i.e. does not require either KDE or Gnome.)
As far as extensions go, I agree to leave that to the user. With
Mozilla (Firefox or Thunderbird or Seamonkey), any extension can be
installed from inside the program, with a few clics. Even saves making
any RPMs for the extensions.
(I would make localisation extensions an exception.)
