Hi,
Please include BRAVE web browser and Kodi by default, it would be a great boon.
Thanks for all the good work.

Maybe in the App Center but definitely not by default IMHO - this is exactly what has driven me away from other so called light distros. Devs deciding what apps and adding them as default until you end up with bloat that you never use let alone do not need. Don't get me wrong Brave is a great browser many many people love just like many folks like Palemoon and Waterfox and on and on . . . so you see where this going. Obviously a browser is needed as part of the install process so BL starts out with a light browser in Epiphany - the few apps that are default are light which makes BL pretty snappy on old stuff blazing fast on the new rigs. If you like Brave and Kodi (whatever that is) then by all install them.
I am not trying to start anything here just pointing out you probably don't want some of the apps I like Firefox, Firejail (probably paying a little performance wise for that choice), Veracrypt gnome-terminal - so it would be great for me if those were installed by default but for others no so much. I only had to uninstall a few things after the fresh install of BL and install a few things that I like.
Bottom line is too much default stuff = bloat

No to bloat, one reason that drew me to Bodhi.
Perhaps something for the AppPack version, if not done already.

What would be nice is during the installation process, "Choose your browser, the default is X"

We are not Ubiquity installer maintainers.
Install your favorite web browser after installation.

Yes, I meant the AppPack version!
The reason I say is because Bodhi is, or can become, the "cool", "Kids" distro (what with Steam pre-installed and all), and they may not KNOW that a thing like Kodi (as cool as that) exists!! Or for that matter, BRAVE, with it's BAT token.
Also, making Ecosia the default search engine ON BRAVE would be a Huge thing.

While I agree that more youngsters should know that something like Kodi exists, and is FOSS, including it _by default_ in Bodhi would make it... something else. Not lightweight. About the rest: I do not agree with your choice of browser or search engine. Let's just leave it at that, and stick with whatever the Ubuntu repos provide. |

Not to beat a dead horse but the essence of Bodhi is that it is super light no bloat - none. The user determines what apps to install. As far as what goes into AppCenter . . . . that is up to the Devs but quite frankly that is exactly what I was trying to get away from.
