Well Firefox users are used to having to install a browser on their Desktop OS. It's usually the first thing I do on any OS and typically the last time I use the bundled browser. Chrome users have a similar experience (unless you are on Android or ChromeOS of course). Otherwise most of us would be using Edge and Safari instead. I actually played a little with arch recently in a VM. It's actually a quite nice distribution. With arch the whole point seems to be not getting locked into any kind of opinionated defaults for whatever. The gnome desktop I installed comes with a thing simply called Web, which appears to be some Gnome Webkit derivative. I also played with Manjaro, which is a lot simpler to setup. I wouldn't get to hung up on default apps on either of those two platforms. If you install them, you kind of should know what you are doing and what you like.
