1738211 - Identify more browsers in Windows default browser agent/WDBA telemetry

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Default Browser Agent, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Romain Testard [:RT]]

Currently the default agent can identify users setting these browsers as default: edge-chrome, edge, ie, opera, brave and chrome
Although 15% of browsers are un-identified and most of them are in China and Russia. We should specifically report users setting the following browsers as default: Yandex, QQ, 360 browser, Baidu browser, Sogou browser

What is needed here is to extend the list at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/a9e0a3f5e5f7cde941d419db967997aaa1f06b0f/toolkit/mozapps/defaultagent/DefaultBrowser.cpp#96 with new entries. The hardest part here is probably setting up a VM and installing all the requested browsers and checking the strings manually.

P3 'cuz this can't be top of the stack.

We're going to be in the relevant area for tickets like Bug 1742658, so we may be able to squeeze this in. I'll add it to the sprint backlog.

Baidu is now deprecated and not showing up for top CN desktop browsers (https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/china/#monthly-202111-202112 ) so let's remove it from scope here.
