Why not consider google-chrome? I know it's 'beta' status, but as I've been
using it for a long time - since version in which plugins are defaultly on
it's perfectly stable, and it's really lightweight and fast :) AND it's
becoming quite popular, so I think it'd be better for lubuntu to have a
popular browser that many people are familiar with, rather than having some
exotic one that very little number of people use....
