Omarchy deserves a browser with world-class adblocking built in, so I'm proposing this PR.
Fresh installs currently ship and select Chromium. Make Brave Origin the default browser, with Omarchy's theme, Wayland flags, and bundled extensions configured during installation.
Existing users retain their selected browser and profile data.
