Randomize the order. Mark the highest ranking as "popular".

Enter Microsofts browser ballot screen that they were required to show in Europe. Broken randomness and half a dozen IE skins to game the requirement. Main requirements should be: do not let the fox guard the hen house.

Is there some threshold? Can any fork of Chromium make it on there? Can a company make 10 different forks to increase their chance? What if someone gets a really bad roll and sees 5 really shitty ones they don't know or like? How is that putting the user first?

Wow, for a second I really blanked there and I was totally thinking of the Microsoft ballot. Good catch.

Reverse the order, mark the lowest ranking as popular!
