Microsoft broke a Chrome feature to promote Edge
Wow, this is much worse than I assumed:<p>> <i>In fact, we were able to circumvent the issue just by changing the name of the Chrome app on a Windows desktop. It seems that Microsoft threw up the roadblock specifically for Chrome, the main competitor to its Edge browser.</i><p>From the beginning of the article, I was led to believe Microsoft had changed an API around checking/setting the default browser to show Microsoft's dialog instead. Which doesn't seem great to change an API without warning, but maybe you can make an argument that it ensures a "neutral" choice rather than apps pushing the choice on users.<p>But this shows it's <i>specifically against Chrome</i>. Regardless of whether it's legal or not, it's unforgivably anti-competitive behavior. It's a truly shameful tactic.
