Microsoft’s tactics with Edge face renewed scrutiny over browser choice

Even though Microsoft attempts to focus on an artificial intelligence (AI) conversation that also includes the Edge web browser, industry bodies and researchers are calling out the tech company for continually coercive and intrusive tactics to make a case for Edge. The Browser Choice Alliance, and Mozilla Research, have again highlighted Microsoft’s attempts to engineer an illusion of choice, on millions of Windows PCs.

Mozilla Research, earlier this week, released the latest edition of the Over The Edge 2.0 report, which details how Microsoft’s design tactics compromise free browser choice.
