Well, the way the Anaconda web UI is currently packaged, it hardcodes a
requirement on a specific browser or engine.
As for Firefox, it should be gone from the Spin to begin with. It is
consistently one of the largest packages on the entire Spin and it is
entirely redundant. QtWebEngine cannot go away (since even Plasma itself
depends on it, but also, e.g., KMail/Kontact), so what needs to go to remove
the duplication is clearly Firefox.
We're not getting rid of Firefox. It's the premier open source
browser, well-supported and well-liked by the community, and most
things on the Internet will at least accept Firefox as a browser. It
also works on all Fedora architectures, unlike anything Chromium-based.
