Imagine a "Choose your Browser"-style pop-up, but for your OS on first boot. I'd really love to see it, partially mostly for the amount of pure chaos it would cause.

This is a good idea.

Honestly, it really is. Lots of people prefer a specific browser, for different reasons. And a lot of people use more than 1 browser as well.

It could be similar to the 'choose your search engine' was supposed to help against googles monopoly (in eu) https://i.imgur.com/3wS6Sai.png

however i dont see this coming to windows or macos, because of those companies focus on being the only company in the world. but this could easily be used on linux. (even though most users of linux prefer firefox, i'd guess)

Especially imagine it showing the price. If you buy a laptop with windows pre-installed, you also paid for a license.

That's actually a good idea.
