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?

This is about Windows, why did you post it here?

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.
