Not really. We already did it with BrowserChoice.eu, just do it again. Just this time don't cancel it. It doesn't need to be perfect, as anything is better than what we have today.

One issue I can think of is that, if you list "all browsers," most are still chrome under the hood, thus stacking the seemingly "equal" choice.

They could make groups based on enginey and then randomly shuffle those. And within those either list browsers by popularity or again shuffle.

Would also help to educate people how little actual choice there is
