the main problem with something lightweight like qupzilla as default 
browser is the poor security patch standards that the webkit/chromium 
ports (which they rely on) seem to have.  Rather than monthly updates 
there are very infrequent point releases, they dont tend to keep up with 
upstream very well at all.

hopefully as qt5.6 is an LTS release that will change, but it remains to 
be seen.

thanks
cris.
