You mean like any browser preinstalled in any OS? also because without a preinstalled browser how do you suppose to install other stuff? With a CD? Also without a preinstalled browser how do apps WebView supposed to work?

@dontbeevil Fair point. I think you could rename the comic to updating windows and it would still be true, because of edge just reinstalling/enabling itself

No, in their OS you don't need a browser to install stuff. Apt.

@dontbeevil in the terminal..

@horus also in windows

@joewilliams007 yeah ask 90% of users to do that

There is also the store...but but the store is baaad

@dontbeevil WebViews in apps don‘t need an installed browser.
