About this tag

Recent threads highlight how European regulations, particularly the Digital Markets Act (DMA), have pushed Microsoft to allow Windows 11 widgets to open links in the user's default browser, and to provide greater user control over preinstalled software. Other conversations cover browser-level customization, such as the ability to remove the Extensions button from the Firefox toolbar. These topics reflect a broader theme of platform openness and user autonomy in choosing and configuring web browsers on Windows systems.
