We conducted a pan-European UX study to validate design patterns for android choice screens

The goal was to provide behavioral insights to regulators and tech platforms to ensure that the design of choice screens empowers users to make informed, unbiased decisions.

We tested 7 interctive designs through both qualitative and quantitative research.
We provided actionable UX guidelines based on real user behaviour.

How can we design an interface that gives every browser a fair chance - not just the gatekeepers?

The Digital Markets Act mandates that dominant platforms must offer users a choice when selecting their default search engine or browser. But how that choice is presented makes all the difference.

Choice screen design often privileges the gatekeeper’s own browser

No standardized UX principles for implementing the legal mandate

Collaborative research and agile prototyping across 5 EU countries

What “fair” really looks like in practice, we designed a multi-phase research and prototyping process. We tested behavior, bias, and clarity across multiple EU countries, translating insights into practical design guidelines that reflect both user needs and policy goals.
