Opera files complaint against Microsoft for manipulating customers into using Edge
Opera has filed a complaint against Microsoft Edge, claiming that the Redmond firm uses deceptive tactics to get customers to use its browser.
As reported by The Verge, the reason for filing a complaint against Brazil rather than any other country is that it is one of Opera's main markets, where the company enjoys a respectable third place. Regarding the actual nature of the complaint, Opera alleges that Microsoft leverages "manipulative design tactics" and anti-competitive methods to force people into using Edge. If Brazil's regulator does rule in favor of Opera, the company will be seeking remedies like the ability to pre-install other browsers in Windows by default and restricting "dark patterns" that force customers to use Edge.
