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?

    To me it sounds like an idea most people would say is a good idea because people like choice on principle, but the vast majority of people will then just use Chrome anyway.

      But at least they can decide for themselves, even if it’s just because of the logo. The friction to switch the browser after the fact is way too high, especially on mobile nearly all people use the default browser.
