Adding something to a first-run tour doesn't seem to be a good solution; we’ve seen most people skip/close that on Endless OS, at least.
I sort of hate to suggest it, but maybe something _similar to_ (but distinct from!) what Windows does to direct people to Edge instead of another browser is actually viable?
Think: a pre-installed browser add-on that has a list of known download sites and displays a message to direct people to the app store.
