Since this is security related, I’d appreciate to have the input of the
security team on this matter.

I’d prefer to set the default as chromium, since it would avoid a
security regression (lack of keyring support in iceweasel) and
integrates a bit better with GNOME (since it uses webkit, although a
different flavor). Is that OK with you?

(I am completely appalled by the fact we don’t even have ONE decent
browser for GNOME in the archive, but there’s nothing you can do.)

Cheers,
