According to Daniel Aleksandersen, Microsoft has pushed the illegal Win11 EdgeDeflector blocking functionality onto Windows 10 with the latest CU. For some reason I haven’t seen this reported by any other tech sites.
<p>So which law does it break since you claim it is illegal? I could see calling it anticompetitive, but it’s not illegal unless it is determined to be by a court. It’s why criminals are called alleged until they are convicted in court.</p>

<p>ZAKAND called it illegal in the original post. Sometimes the threading isn’t properly shown in the comments, Safari mobile is notoriously bad at this.</p>
<p>It is not illegal until they are found guilty of something. A lot of the anti-trust stuff from back in the day was overturned in the US, and it is likely that MS would have won — but Microsoft settled because the government playing hardball with the threat of a breakup… was just too high a risk to take the thing to the end. The EU had their own solution. I think it is anti-user, anti-competitive when it comes to browsers which were not ‘integral’ to the desktop OS up until now… so I would like it to be illegal… but that is up to congress.</p>
