I think that the thinking behind this is something like: > epiphany 85 Part of gnome, so it should be used by default if installed, so a fairly high number. But not excessively high, since it's basically installed by default. > konqueror 100 Not sure why it gets a much higher number since it's also basically installed by default if kde gets installed. > galeon 120 If a user goes out of the way to install this, they're quite likely to want to use it by default. > iceweasel 70 Also installed by default as part of either the gnome or kde desktop tasks, and should not take over as the default browser on those desktops without user configuration, so needs to be lower than epiphany and konqueror. (This is debatable, it could also be argued that like epiphany, if you install it, you want to use it; the desktop environments generally configure the default browser for use within them via other means. So a higher number might be more appropriate) > iceape 80 Not installed by default, so if you install it, you probably want it. Current number is probably slightly low. > dillo 100 Mostly useful on embedded or low disk systems. Such systems are unlikely to have any other web browser installed, so it does not need to have a higher priority to compete with other web browsers. It's generally less capable than all of the above browsers, which also argues that it should have a lower priority. > Feel free to suggest a number for the priority of dillo. 50 -- see shy jo
