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?

    No. Mozilla is a nonprofit that includes Firefox, but is not Firefox.

    Bias is one of the first things anyone learns in statistics, they didn’t just poll Firefox users to figure out who likes browser choice. The article says who they polled.

        There’s a link to the actual report in the article, which has further links to the documents used in the survey.

        To be specific, this wasn’t a traditional questionnaire, they made limited-functionality desktop environments and had people try out different options.

        The link in the article.
