Opera takes its browser beef with Microsoft to Brazil in antitrust complaint


The Norway-based company is looking to end Microsoft's deals to make Edge the exclusive pre-installed browser on Windows.

Opera is filing an antitrust complaint against Microsoft in Brazil, alleging it creates an unfair environment for alternate browsers to compete with Edge. Opera also argued that Microsoft uses design tactics and dark patterns to further discourage people from downloading and using rival products. Last year, it also argued (albeit unsuccessfully) that Microsoft should have gatekeeper designation for the Edge browser under the EU's Digital Markets Act.
