As someone who has used Firefox on Android as the default browser for years, one thing that I must say is that Android never conveniently forgot my choice.
Which cannot be said about Windows.
- dmitriid 4y agoI'm not talking about the OS. Google's apps conveniently forget the choice on iOS. Less aggressively in the past few months (probably caught by Apple), but still.
- vetinari 4y agoOh, I didn't know that on iOS the apps is responsible for picking another app to open an resource. In Android, the app just throws an intent to open something, the OS opens the list of app capable of handling it, the user picks the wanted one (either 'only this time' or 'use this as default next time'). The OS, not the app, then remembers the choice.

I don't think they are responsible, but you can invoke a specific app if you need. Google's apps keep showing this sheet with "browser choice" quite often, conveniently forgetting that the user keeps setting "don't ask me again". The choices are: Chrome, Google, Safari, Default system browser.
