I agree that if the user saves his/her option then the pop up will
not be shown. PFA the patch that can be used to give the option to the
user for selecting his/her browser. One thing is for sure that we
should not be always launching the native android browser as it is not
present in most of the devices. I would anyways prefer that we
directly launch the chrome browser (patch submitted earlier in the
thread), instead of showing a pop up to the user for selecting the
browser.
