What if we got to easily choose our web browser, and didn’t have to rely on complex operating system settings to change the pre-installed default?

Do you keep the default browser on your Linux distro, or do you change it? If yes, why?

      The study is also about Android. But the main reason I crossposted here is because I was curious what the opinion of this community about browser screens in the setup process is.

      Our research involved 12,000 people in Germany, Spain and Poland setting up a highly realistic virtual Windows or Android device.

      Edit: I believe that this study is also applicable to desktop Linux users, since those are generally more tech-savy.

        At least depending on the district, users can be sent directly to the store page.

        Windows, however, needs a choice screen.
