Dear Microsoft, enough is enough
The Browser Choice Alliance has called on Microsoft to respect user choice regarding web browsers. They argue that Microsoft's practices unfairly promote its own browser, Edge, at the expense of competitors. The alliance urges Microsoft to implement changes that would allow for fair competition among browser developers.
- ▪The Browser Choice Alliance advocates for user freedom in selecting web browsers.
- ▪Microsoft is accused of using its dominant position to push users towards Edge through various manipulative tactics.
- ▪The alliance demands that Microsoft allow fair competition for browser preinstallation and eliminate practices that restrict user choice.
