Well, obviously if there is no imbedded mailer code, that's bloat
reduction, but there's only so much they can do if they want to provide
a browser that has download support, plugin support, java support, and
support for all the crap that M$IE has introduced into the WEB arena. 
If you want a minimalist browser, try Dillo.

Since I have a relatively capable machine and not one of the old
warriors, bloat is less of a concern for me than usability.  I can even
tolerate kde or gnome functions now, when I need them.

OpenOffice is certainly the bloat queen, but she's a damn good product.
