3rd party browser update resets the default browser?

[bigboy29]

I guess this is one of those things that we could not test before browsers shipped this support but:

DuckDuckGo shipped support to change default browser in iOS 14 like 2 days ago, which is when I set it as default on my phone. Today, there was another update to DuckDuckGo in the app store. Then, I noticed that after that update was done, Safari was again the default browser on my phone?

Wut? 😒

Are you sure you didn’t set DDG as the default search engine the other day?

I’ve now had to set Chrome as default several different times as it keeps getting reset back to Safari every day or two. This might explain why.

Definitely sure.

I’m bummed that Firefox does not yet offer default browser.

Depends if they've updated for it, and if Apple have granted it permission, as any app wanting to have that ability has to be approved.
