No, third-party browsing engines are not a thing that's been implemented yet, and might never be by Firefox. This is about a screen that prompts EU users to pick a browser rather than defaulting to Safari and leaving it up to them to install another.
Are you telling me every Android phone manufacturer globally prompts their user base to select all their default apps, instead of defaulting to whatever Google, Samsung or some telco choose?
I have a hard time believing that considering all the bloatware...
You are prompted what app to use when trying to do something, yes. If you click a link in an app for the first time, it will ask you what browser to open it into
Samsung browser isn't bad, but I occasionally used opera to download web pages in PDF more reliably. Chrome is there, it's basic and fast...but it's not the best browser.
So Samsung's default to Samsung browser, and the problem isn't specific to Apple or iOS?
Samsung phones come with two types of default, the Google apps and the Samsung ones. So yes, they're all there taking away your memory space.
