Chrome? That spyware?
The only alternative a little would be a Chromium, or Midori.
Just keep Firefox.
I suggest better hardware support. Ubuntu LTS 14.04.3 ships now with Linux kernel 3.19. And newer LTS hardware enablement stack (newer graphics drivers and all that). LTS releases are always updated to bring better support for new hardware.
Linux Lite ships with kernel 3.13.
Sure Linux Lite is aimed for older PCs, but it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice newer hardware support and performance.
Ubuntu 16.04 will be already on kernel 4.
Also, I would install kernel meta package by default (if you haven't already do that in Lite 2.6, I already suggested this in 2.6 thread), so the kernel keeps updating itself with security fixes.
Meta package "linux-generic" I installed myself. 29,7KB in size. This meta package also installs dependencies (sometimes).
The 3.19 meta package would be a "linux-generic-lts-vivid"
Package "linux-generic" is 3.13.
But I remember you keep working on your own Linux Lite kernels, do you intend to ship them in the future by default in LL? Will they be regularly updated with security fixes and other things automatically?
Example: kernel 3.13.0.66-linuxlite > 3.13.0.68-linuxlite.
"You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install
the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work
correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed."
