Norwegian browser-software company, Opera has complained to Brazil’s competition authority, CADE, accusing Microsoft of antitrust abuse. This action was a new salvo against tech titans charged with anticompetitive practice.
The main charge is that the tech giant is employing the Windows operating system to improperly direct users to Microsoft Edge. The company claims that this is being done at the expense of competitors in a sector where user preference should reign supreme.
Opera alleges that , default settings, and UI design strategies erect hurdles for competing browsers, eventually suppressing competition and consumer choice.
