And the winner is....

That's right. That evil empire will that everyone loves to hate, but uses anyway, will be the default web browser in Series 6x.
The contenders:
Firefox - now served up as a Snap package only... (need a vomit emoticon)
Brave - nice browser, but wants to block our ads, counter productive
Edge - too early, needs to mature. For Series 7x? Very possible.
Chromium - extremely close to being the default, but if you're gonna serve up a Chrome base, might as well have the full monty.
Vivaldi - nice browser, poor market share so a big learning curve for our users and we don't do big learning curves here.
Opera - see Vivaldi
Chrome - Established, everything you throw at it just works. I myself wish FF was still an option, but had to go with the browser that ticked the usual boxes for our target audience. Yes this will p#$s some people off, some will jump for joy. You can't win them all, you can only do what you think is best for the majority.
Market share globally - last 12 months
No brainer...
