This is one of those things that is great in theory, but proper execution is going to be hard
Why? In windows you already have a dozen selection screens during installation, just adding one for the browser would be a huge deal.
OEMs could just install every popular browser.
So, Chrome and Edge? No thank you.
Firefox would obviously also be included.
Maybe even brave and opera too.
It's a shame Opera dumped their in house rendering engine, but it's understandable when the ~~market leader~~ monopoly keeps making changes that are hard to keep up with... not to mention the "Not compatible with your browser" stuff
A shame Opera is a privacy nightmare sending data directly to China!
That's not so obvious to me. Companies might refer to usage statistics to exclude the ones you mentioned.
top 5 is a common metric
