many oos users are dropping firefox in favor of the new oos browser.

Well, I believe Rex was just being pragmatic - if you're going to switch, Firefox (for better
or for worse) is really the only choice.  

Personally, I prefer Chrome, which for obvious reasons can be a candidate - neither can
Chromium because of:  https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28287

IMO this is all a bit needless until KDE decides what they are going to do about Konqueror.  If it ends up they are going to abandon it, that would be the time to act.  Kevin already discussed what could be done about any critical security issues; and if someone wants to use another browser it is ridiculously simple to install.  

I really don't get the urgency or importance of this; I think there are bigger fish to fry.
