Firefox spokesperson Christopher Hilton tells The Verge that the browser has seen a more than 50 percent jump in users in Germany and a nearly 30 percent increase in France.
Brave saw a similar increase in users after Apple started letting users choose their default browsers on iOS 17.4 in the EU last week.
Apples users could not pick a default browser? Wtf?
Historically, if you used a browser other than Safari, it was required to just be the UI, the renderer still has to be Safari.
I have iOS 15.4 and I have a default browser that isn’t Safari. This is more in reference to a new popup on first time bootup that asks you to pick a browser. You could pick a default one before this, you just had to go download it first like on a computer.
Okay that makes a lot more sense.
I learned the other day that macOS cannot turn mouse acceleration off without going into the terminal, but apparently macOS is user friendly and desktop linux is “only for developers”.

Eww!
no one of the normies care
What do they care about?
Gaymares care. I mean gamers.
Totaly not a gaymare
Usability is not just about customizability. Compatibility and ease of troubleshooting and remedying issues are also majorly important, arguably more so than customization.
Since when mouse acceleration in games is usable? Always-on mouse acceleration is unusability.

It just works
Am more surprised you expected this to be a thing. When it comes to Apple users choice is always what Apple chooses. Otherwise they might hurt themselves.
Haven’t used an apple device personally. I remember struggling when I was trying to copy a file from a friends iphone. Everything was so different.
I remember a long time ago, I worked with a lot of apple users and one had come to look at my unix machine. It had a then standard 3 button mouse which he found amazing. So I explained the whole copy and paste in X11 thing, and all the stuff you could do with several buttons depending on where you clicked.
He said that it was great but he regularly managed to miss the mouse button on his Mac so it probably wasn’t for him.
And I suppose that’s why apple does things that way.
Everything I’ve ever used gave me a choice, so I just assumed it was universal. Now I know.
