📔 Objective

The recurring browser autofill pop-up was triggering whenever any supported browser (Chrome, Chrome Beta, Brave, Vivaldi) was installed but not configured for third-party autofill, regardless of whether the user actually used that browser as their default. This caused persistent nagging every 24 hours for users whose default browser is unsupported (e.g., Firefox) or different from the preinstalled Chrome.

Resolved by detecting the device's default browser and only showing the dialog when that specific browser is a supported one with third-party autofill disabled. Onboarding flows continue to check all browsers as before.
