Maybe in future releases the best thing to do is fork Chromium like debian did with Firefox as Iceweasel, therefor it will be possible to compile versions without any Google specific code! But a project like this requires maintainers and a huge community to keep it alive and keep up with the development speed of Chromium. Chromium asks you which search engine to use as soon as you start it and development of extensions and addons is growing at a incredible rate. But the license agreement is indeed different than other browsers...For me Firefox is not usable at all on a machine with 128MB of ram, Midori is very fast but its only in a 0.23 version, a lot of sites work with midori "viewing" but more advanced web standards "interactive" are not working at all, although simple email with hotmail and gmail is working at the moment. So if people don't want Chromium but they'll notice Firefox is to slow, the just need to type in terminal:sudo apt-get install midoriFor this release of Lubuntu which hopefully doesn't get as heavy as Xubuntu, maintainers choose for apps that are very low on resources, but in the end it needs to be usable. The most important I think is the desktop environment LXDE which makes Lubuntu. PCMAN is doing a enormous amount of coding to get the desktop experience to work on low spec machines, throwing in a resource hog like Firefox makes his work look foolish for me... Still other low resource programs are preferable like replacing the heavy nm-applet but there is not a fully alternative for it, which support, wired, wireless, modems, 3g modems, authentication etc at all. I'd rather see the footprint go down of (L)ubuntu right now... A debian 5.03 live cd session with old LXDE desktop will work on a machine with 128MB of ram. Lubuntu seems to be using something like 256MB at this moment... making a live session impossible on 128MB of ram. But debian did not have pulse audio nm-applet and other stuff running in the background at that moment, making it impossible to use for a lot of new users... btw I thought there were 6 comments before mine, is there any modding or cencorship involved?
