Are they bargaining on people not caring enough to install something else
Yes.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess this is the wrong place to ask how many of y'all don't use the browser that came with your device, huh?
Googling browser market share for mobile devices has a lot of contradictory information. Maybe that's why he didn't.
Poor Dolphin. They're like the Opera of the mobile set.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
How so?

I tend to use the browser that is built into the phone, both of my iOS and Android devices. There are only so many hours in the day and which browser is most efficient on the mobile OS doesn't make the cut on things to worry about. I figure if I don't really care and I'm a pretty tech savvy person then the average user definitely can't be bothered.

I use safari on my iPad and iPhone. I just downloaded chrome, since that's what I use on my laptop, but haven't gotten it going yet or seen if I like it. Plus I use Firefox on my work and netbook (which I use when I'm home so I don't go here on the work compiter, it's set up next to it).

They don't seem to come up in many browser discussions. I think (they're usually part of Other.
Opera on all the devices that let me share my bookmarks with the home laptop and desktop. The other I have are in case a page isn't rendering well, I try in it native, Dolpin, Chrome, and Firefox.
Chrome is definitely my second favourite on al platforms, but I haven't looked into nookmark sharing, since I tend to transfer good links to Opera and bookmark them there.
I thought I'd found an Android web clipping solution--Evernote Share (dolphin plugin) is supposed to fix that--in Dolphin, but I'm clearly doing something wrong because mine doesn't work yet.

I use Dolphin. I love it a lot.

I'd use Dolphin more if I could make the Evernote Share addon work. As it is, Opera has al my settings from my desktop and laptop, so it wins.

I use Chrome on my phone. I like that I can access the tabs I have open in Chrome on various devices.
