Smaller web browsers are thriving in the EU thanks to the DMA's choice screens.
Some lesser-known browsers have seen as much as a 250% increase since the DMA was implemented in March.
The US has yet to implement similar policies, but users in that market could still benefit from ripple effects caused by the EU's DMA.

I think it is definitely a weird "first world" thing. I've run into it a couple times on a personal level, and just about a week or so ago I got a "wait, you're an android person??? Ugh" when trading numbers with someone for a work thing (as in this is the first time I was meeting this person, and the interaction was entirely "professional"). This is all separate from the friends I have that play it up as joke, since I'm one of the only people with an android in the group.

Idk what the kids are doing, but it's absolutely a thing for some people in their twenty's and beyond.
