BLOATWARE desktops are the choice?
only for those with more money than brains.
BLOATWARE browser?
not for me.
I'll use Mozilla's Seamonkey Suite, less resource intensive and 5 times the capabilities of Mozilla's Firefox.

and any distro that has meta packages enabled is out of the running, that is a guarantee of bloat.
use a minimalist distro, or go back to MS bloatware.
