After you install the 17.4 update or when setting up the phone it'll ask what browser you want as your deafult. Before this and still in other countries you have to manually search and download a browser and set it as the default.
I was a bit confused too. So all that's changed is a specific splash screen during new phone setup prompting the user to pick a default browser?
yes, because the average user doesn't even know there are different browsers, and that they can change the default one, which is great to "vendor lock" your own browser, in this case Safari from iOS

Hurry USA! Better find some smallish company to sue for anti trust instead of working on any real issues like this
To whoever mentioned Librewolf previously as a better alternative to FireFox: Thank you.

3,000 people clicked a button out of curiosity or by mistake. If this is statistically relevant for their install base, there really is nobody using Brave. I have as many users randomly come and go into my game on a daily basis.

I don't use Brave due to lack of uBlock Origin support. Otherwise it seems like a decent browser.
