At the time, you'd get a disk from a store or order it from a magazine or whatever. I don't really know what the solution would be now since those aren't things though. I guess get one from a friend or another device?
I believe it contained multiple browser installers and let you pick one.
If they didn’t bundle safari on a mac or firefox on linux, there are terminal commands to install firefox and chrome on both.
There is a command for windows via their built in package manager apparently, but I can’t confirm that.
Yea, winget is the build in windows package manager.
I started using that pretty frequently and a lot of software is on it, though it does lack some features like version pinning.
There is a website to explore the available packages at winget.run, which makes it a bit easier to use.
