There's only two solution that come to mind
1. Give it to the highest bidders (current method)
2. Give it to the highest ranking sites
From what I see, #2 is even worse for newcomers. Do you have a different suggestion that's better?
- z3t4 6y agoRandomize the order. Mark the highest ranking as "popular".
- josefx 6y agoEnter Microsofts browser ballot screen that they were required to show in Europe. Broken randomness and half a dozen IE skins to game the requirement. Main requirements should be: do not let the fox guard the hen house.
- rrobukef 6y agoReverse the order, mark the lowest ranking as popular!
- ehsankia 6y agoIs there some threshold? Can any fork of Chromium make it on there? Can a company make 10 different forks to increase their chance? What if someone gets a really bad roll and sees 5 really shitty ones they don't know or like? How is that putting the user first?
- blue_devil 6y agoQuestion is: why restrict the # of providers shown at all? They could show a semi-random segmented ranking: - split all companies into X buckets by ranking - pick the top from each bucket from 1 to X, then the second best from each bucket etc.
