    There’s not really much here that isn’t pretty easily solved. Alphabetical order, descriptions yes, written by each vendor. Yes Firefox would be required to be listed since it’s one of the handful not based on chromium. Design literally is just solving these exact kinds of problems and it happens every day, no need to make it a harder problem than it is.

      It is a hard problem, for all the reasons I listed lol. Alphabetical order would be a terrible idea, browsers would be punished because of their name. Randomized order would be better. Obviously Firefox would be there, that doesn’t even need to be stated. This isn’t easily solved, and we do not have browser neutrality or anything close to it in any form or platform. How does your solution help against the blink monopoly that is killing the internet?

      These are things you need to figure out, there’s no “no need to make it harder problem than it is” when it comes to designing these very important things. That’s just how you have straight up bad design that isn’t thought out.

      If you want to compare to how app stores do it, which are still no neutral at all, they still are constantly changing. Mobile app stores recently got the privacy nutrition label, some desktop ones have the same for security. Install base is going to skew numbers. Imagine putting Palemoon as an option and not giving massive security warnings all over the product page. Should there even be a product page for just one selection screen?

        As someone who struggles with decision paralysis all the time, you obviously get that but much worse.

        And yes you are 100% making this harder than it is.

        “This is how you get bad design”

        Ok and your way is how we get complete inaction
