It's not the worst bug we've seen on a fresh iOS release, but it's certainly annoying, especially for folks who waited for ages to change their default browser from Safari to something else.

To change your default browser in iOS 14, navigate to Settings, find your browser of choice, tap it and select Default Browser App. Currently, Chrome, Edge, DuckDuckGo, and Firefox are supported (besides Apple's Safari). The procedure is the same for the default Mail app.
