Launching today, Vivaldi is a proud participant in the Browser Choice Alliance!

BCA is an informal alliance of browser makers who are all prevented from competing fairly on Windows PCs, because Microsoft self-preferences its own Edge browser.

From @[email protected]:
“For a long time, Vivaldi has publicly called out Microsoft for its dirty tricks to undermine consumer choice. Independent browsers like us simply cannot compete fairly with Edge when it is so heavily preferenced in Windows. Regulators need to intervene urgently.”

@[email protected] @[email protected] not defending Microsoft here but is it not the same with Macs and Chromebooks? Macs preference Safari and Chromebooks preference Chrome, why single out Microsoft in this post, should we not be aiming this at all operating systems

This doesn't seem like a problem that requires an all-or-nothing solution, and as well Windows is far and away the most popular desktop OS in the world: https://www.statista.com/statistics/268237/global-market-share-held-by-operating-systems-since-2009/

Even though other companies are part of the problem, Microsoft is the largest part of that problem, and it's not even close.
