I believe they meant prompting users to choose a default browser.

Everybody sticks to the default defaults. It’s such a truism that fairness dictated legislators got involved.

The order seems sketchy, that's not A-z. And if they chose to order by application name, safari would be burried way down the list xD.

Just a coincidence. Safari was 8th or 9th for me while Vivaldi was first.
