To whoever mentioned Librewolf previously as a better alternative to FireFox: Thank you.

Competition is healthy for a market, this is proof that people aren't happy with the default browser and it'll hopefully spur apple into improving their browser and in turn causing brave to improve even more

"brave to improve even more"? Don't you mean stop being a shitty scummy company?

Honestly I'd expect a much bigger jump

A choice screen is a baby step that’s not enough to level the playing field.

it's was not hard. you just install one and tap "always" the next time you open a link to set it as the default

Many if not most users were unaware of this possibility though.

maybe because of ios where it wasn't even possible to change the default browser until like .... 2020 i think?
and even now all browsers use webkit and are forbidden from loading their own js (aka extensions) anyway
