It’s the only browser I have installed besides Safari, and my default browser but instead of just opening the link with my default browser, it advertises these other browsers to me and makes me click ‘Default browser app’ by default. wtf I’ll be turning that off, should have never been a feature.
Does iOS not have like a “default Apps” system?
It does. And Firefox is my default browser app.
So if Firefox is your default, what happens when you tap that “open with default app” button at the bottom?
Predatory design for non techy people. It’s a deliberate decision to put that as the most uninviting option. Also creates doubt in the user by not showing any logo/icon
I don’t know anything about iOS development, but my guess is that since this is a google app they do show the chrome icon regardless if you have chrome installed or not. If you don’t have it, clicking that will take you to the App Store.
They show safari because that comes on an iPhone that that’s the default default browser (i guess that’s the way to say that?)
I don’t think they have a way to scan your phone for what other apps are installed and list the ones it thinks are web browsers here. What I mean is that I don’t think that it’s technically possible of feasible to display a Firefox icon here. How could it know you have that app?

It makes the choices look strange though. You see the Google suggestions and the Apple suggestions even though those aren’t the default. This is that walled garden in action on both Apple and Google’s side.
Blame the design, not the user.
I am! I think this is intentional on both Apple and Google to force you to use their apps
Yes they can easily fetch the correct data

Does it matter at the end of the day? If I understand this correctly all browsers on iOS use the Safari engine, and it is not like OP can’t open FF from there.
I don’t believe “calendar” is an option for default apps iirc (someone correct me if I’m wrong)
