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?

    I’ve been trying Librewolf as a Flatpak on my work machine lately and it’s going great! It’s really a no-BS Firefox + privacy settings by default; love it. But in general I keep the default Firefox that come with my distro.

      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.

    Firefox hardened with Betterfox, Chromium for some sites which are broken because of ad/fingerprint blocker, firefox itself.

    I usually install like 4 browsers, and keep a chromium one for a few tabs that for whatever reason are hostile to the others
