> But the other problem is the "not now" button, because it's what the large majority of users will click

Yeah, because not now, dammit. I am not ready to choose the browser, I have no clue. Geezus, give me an option if you really insist on me to have options but don’t FORCE me to make my mind up when I’m not ready, right there on the spot. How do I even know if this is the best choice I am about to make? Just imagine that every time someone taps “not now” they simply say “I don’t care”. Why do I need to feel the breath of a bureaucrat on my neck when settling up my phone? Just because the bureaucrat had some beef with Apple I’m now forced to make some possibly uneducated decisions. Does your 70 year old mother or 3rd uncle knows which browser is the best and the implications of making the choice are?

Go and sort out more pressing matters. Leave my walled garden alone.




You are entirely free to just choose Safari, in that case.


Sure, but how does a person not fluent in tech know what the good choice is. Think from the perspective of a tech illiterate for a moment. They won’t know and the law will forbid making recommendations, and Safari cannot be put as first choice because the bureaucrat doesn’t like it.
