Windows didnt always have an easy way to change the default browser

From my knowledge, you cannot easily uninstall microsoft edge

I have also heard that sometimes edge is reset to being the default browser, but havent experienced this myself (influenced by the fact that i havent used windows in years)

Other than that, edge isnt really forced on windows users; if it was, it would be the most used browser on desktop

But I like Ubuntu, shit's cozy ☺️

Sure, if you want to tinker, Firefox is great; Brave has way better defaults however, it's convenience. And dear god is convenience important for normies, when even simply installing another browser and importing their data is sometimes too much for them, much less moving from chromium to gecko.

Since when?

This isn't even remotely comparable. Firefox's "AI features" are bloat and should be offered as extensions (if at all) and not part of the browser but they aren't "forcing" users to use them. They're just optional features the user is allowed to make use of. They don't do anything unless the user opts to use them, and they can be toggled off completely in settings.

Whereas not only is it impossible (or at least designed to be impossible) to actually remove Edge, outside of the European region version Windows actually will always open Edge for certain links (notably those from the news widget in the taskbar) and it's not only impossible to configure this from Windows but Microsoft has shipped updates specifically to block third-party apps that work around it. This is aside from the various dark patterns encouraging users to switch back to Edge as the default browser.

Did you make sure the non-free firmware repos are on?

As stupid as that would be Bazzite or some other immutable distro with defender is still better than windows. But I highly doubt every single immutable distro will decide to do this either. Some might, but each team is going to make their own choice. And honestly its a great litmus test to know what never to install.
