Mack, you're *totally* not understanding why this is happening in the first place.

Microsoft abused their dominant OS position to get an stranglehold on the browser market - by bundling IE with every copy of Windows. They've been found guilty of having gained their browser market share unfairly by being the only option by default.

Other browsers have already (generally speaking) been installed by the user as a matter of choice, so there's no need to force them to do anything.
