The problem is, we could discuss which applications to include for years and
never reach a consensus.

Chrome is good, developed regularly and efficient. The only browser I'd
include over Chrome is the newest Midori which is extremely good. Its
improved lots since it was tested for the Lucid build.

I'd like to suggest ayttm as a messaging client. Its tiny, supports all the
major protocols including Jabber, (allowing facebook chat support) and has
very few dependencies.

I'd also like to second parole for media client
