you have the choice all the time to install whatever browser
you want or even any available at the same time

that could be a better way. and, "even mo betta" if it where set up
to give user/installer a _choice_ as to which browser
and i want to have some additional choices in the installer:
* what texteditor
* what video player
* what audio player
* what image viewer
no, i don't want that really
i only want to point out where that leads
why should a browser be handeled special and whatever justification
you would use what do you do if the same is taken for any sort of
software and who will maintain that?
