Mozilla has published a list of ways big tech gatekeepers prevent independent browsers — such as its browser, Firefox — from flourishing on their platforms.
In a recent blog post, Mozilla expressed concerns about how tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft use tactics to ensure users pick their browsers instead of independent options like Firefox.
It goes on to state that companies do this in several ways, such as “making it harder for a user to download and use a different browser, ignoring or resetting a user’s default browser preference, restricting capabilities to the first-party browser, or requiring the use of the first-party browser engine for third-party browsers.”
