I installed Ubuntu 15.04 inside a VM and wasn't expecting much beyond version 14.10. However, a random app named "Web Browser" appeared. I thought it might be Midori, but it was just a basic, somewhat faulty browser—likely developed by Canonical. What do you think about it? Personally, I like it despite its limitations; it runs quickly even in a virtual machine, which is a plus.

Ubuntu includes a native browser by default. After installing Chrome, it works seamlessly.

Ubuntu has included Firefox for a long time, mainly due to its strong compatibility with Gnome extensions. After transitioning to Unity, this is less important, though they still include Firefox, which I accept. Regarding the Ubuntu Web Browser, I haven't tried it yet. It seems to be a straightforward browser (possibly adapted from the Ubuntu Phone) with minimal settings, but if it works and supports HTML5 fully, I don’t see any problems. I hope future updates bring more enhancements.
