Earlier versions of Android had to be rooted to get rid of the built-in versions, and you have to clean that crap out of all browser bookmarks. FX has had some unwanted extensions - who is to say someone can't slip in an extension that calls home to some of these sites - if you don't want them to. OK for the users who do want everything bundled together. I'm tired of cleaning out stuff I don't want.

People are capable of deciding what they want themselves. Of course, that fact doesn't stop the phone companies from forcing apps on people either. As you mentioned, I had to root my phone to get rid of the crap. Just as an example, ALL the Facebook apps suck (IMO). They are all horribly glitchy, slow and plain just don't work. I go to FB via the browser to the mobile site, no app needed (or wanted). Hence, FB apps are deleted (and I tried a few of them beyond what came with the phone, they all stink). Point being, why would anyone want to go through that on their computer browser? I guess we'll have to wait and see what actually comes to be. -- The Alien in the White House 19,534 DEADLY TERROR ATTACKS SINCE 9/11
