Microsoft is updating Windows for EEA users to comply with the DMA, including changes so Edge won’t prompt users to set it as default unless they open the browser. #Microsoft #Windows #DMA #Edge #EEA #TechRegulation #BrowserChoice #TechNews

Firefox’s future is on the line: Google’s antitrust battle could cut off 85% of Mozilla’s funding, risking the collapse of the last major independent browser. Is web diversity about to vanish? Full story👇 #SaveFirefox #BrowserChoice
@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii obviously, that would've been a good standard for everyone, given that almost all non-#Gaming #Apps these days are #WebApps and at that point we'd not have 100+ MB #bloatware that essentially just loads a #Website and can't even cache shit!
- /me stares angrily at #Cordova
Personally I believe the @europarl_en & @EUCommission could do that and establish as well as enforce an #EC #norm, just as they did with #USBc, #CCS2 and #GDPR!
- It's just lack of political #pressure and #will to actually deal with the #AntiCompetitive-ness of #GAFAMs and given #Microsoft got forced into the #BrowserChoice setup in #WindowsXP & #Windows7, I demand the same for #iOS, #macOS and #Windows11 to include not only #Firefox & #Chrome but also #TorBrowser!
#Android needs to be better as in being more than just the "lesser evil" compared to iOS!
if you use @zenbrowser but prefer a regular new-tab page (instead of the urlbar only), set `zen.urlbar.replace-newtab = false` in about:config
while it's an interesting idea, it does not work for me. I like to show the bookmark toolbar on new tabs which only works if I turn `replace-newtab` off. #browserchoice
@owa which is something @EUCommission & @kartellamt@social.bund.de / @BMWK need to fix.
#BrowserChoice on #WinfowsXP & #Windows7 was forced on a way less closed system compared to #Apple's #iOS!

#BattlEye is an anti-cheat system used in some of the leading online multiplayer games. Unfortunately, it can get a bit grumpy when #VivaldiBrowser is set as the system default web browser.

20:16:45: Note: File blocks can be ignored if they don't cause problems with the game.

You can now get the #VivaldiBrowser in the Microsoft Store on Windows: for those times when you can’t even be asked to open Microsoft Edge to download another web browser. #BrowserChoice

Do you have any thoughts on this new prompt that Microsoft puts up when you click on a link in the Microsoft Outlook app for Android? The right option is always to use the system #DefaultBrowser! #BrowserChoice #MicrosoftEdge
