Trying to change your browser? It might be harder than you think, based on one simple thing
Mozilla says Microsoft is abusing its dominant position wherever it can, including the US, UK, and India.
Mozilla has accused Microsoft of using its dominant position in Windows, Edge, Bing, and Copilot to steer users toward Microsoft's Edge browser, while avoiding others. The company claims that stricter EU regulations force Microsoft to be more fair in the European Economic Area (EEA), but it still employs "shady tactics" elsewhere, such as Microsoft's Windows 10 message "You're almost done setting up your PC" and Windows Search and Widgets opening links in Edge instead of the default browser.
Mozilla argues that these practices violate EU principles and hopes that regulators worldwide will take notice. The AI distribution and user reach challenges are also discussed, with Mozilla claiming that browsers are a key distribution layer for AI tools and services.
