Opera is registering a no -confidence complaint against Microsoft in Brazil, pointing fingers It creates an inappropriate environment for alternative browsers to compete along the edge. The Norway-based company claims that Windows creates an inappropriate environment for alternative browsers to compete with Microsoft’s deals to lead the exclusive pre-installed browser on machines. Opera also argued that Microsoft uses strategy and dark patterns to discourage people from downloading and using rival rival products. It is asking the Economic Defense Council (CADE) to carry forward measures against Microsoft for the Administrative Council of Brazil.
“Microsoft made the browser competition bizarre at Windows at every turn,” Aaron Mcperlan said Opera’s General Council, Aaron McParelan. First, browsers such as opera have been excluded from important pre-installation opportunities. ” “And then Microsoft disappoints users’ ability to download and use alternative browsers.”
This is not the first time these two companies have confronts. Opera sued Microsoft in European Union With similar arguments that bundling the Internet Explorer was anticomatic. Also argued (although unsuccessfully) that Microsoft should be the gatekeeper designation for the Edge browser under the European Union’s Digital Markets Act.
