It's still there, page 27. They just refer to the browser as software providers, which is probably better, as it now covers internet software that is not technically a browser.

It seems ambiguous to me - my concern/question is whether the definition of 'software settings' could include the content of a web page itself.

That could lead us back to the current situation where consent dialogs are designed by advertising networks, and result in user consent fatigue.
