Microsoft adjusts browser strategy in Europe to comply with regulations, treating Edge and Chrome equally

However, this is about to change.
It is understood that although this adjustment was originally made to comply with regulations in the European market, the latest news shows that this change will also affect users outside Europe. This move is seen as an important step for Microsoft to further open up its operating system and promote fair competition in the market.

But now, in order to comply with the relevant provisions of the Digital Markets Act, Microsoft has begun to provide optional Windows browser features for users in the European Economic Area (EEA). From Moment Starting with Update 5, Edge and Bing users in the European Economic Area can easily remove them by going to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps and choosing to uninstall the browser. This change will undoubtedly provide users with greater choice and may further change the competitive landscape of the browser market.
