That's not the Android that people are talking about.

Sure. The Android people are talking about exists so Google can control everyone's life. I would not trust it to protect my privacy.

Even on the Google Play Store, there's a browser called Firefox that supports the concept of "add-ons".

I know these are a novelty on Android where most people use Chrome because it's pre-installed - but add-ons are small, self-contained downloadable additions to your browser. There are multiple such add-ons that will block ads for you. They also work in-app where the Firefox WebView/custom tab is used.

I still don't understand which law allows _not_ to show a choose your default browser installer, like Windows had to after the court decision.

Are you in Europe? I am and recently I was asked this exactly question out of blue, and I was given 5 options (if I recall correctly).

[pmlnr]

Yes. 5 options on Android and on iOS? Because if Windows had to, they should too.

[enedil]

I don't have access to iOS devices, but this happened on 3 different Android phones. It wasn't on setup though.

That's interesting, I've never experienced this myself. Wonder if there are any screenshots floating about on the web.
