Launching today, Vivaldi is a proud participant in the Browser Choice Alliance!
BCA is an informal alliance of browser makers who are all prevented from competing fairly on Windows PCs, because Microsoft self-preferences its own Edge browser.
From @jon:
“For a long time, Vivaldi has publicly called out Microsoft for its dirty tricks to undermine consumer choice. Independent browsers like us simply cannot compete fairly with Edge when it is so heavily preferenced in Windows. Regulators need to intervene urgently.”
@SuperRon08 @Vivaldi @jon nope, in macOS when you open a different browser you don’t have the system shouting at you "you sure you don’t want to use safari?" 
in fact, there even is a "select system web browser" dropdown menu in the system settings
and microsoft has been extremely vocal and unfair as a desktop operating system in basically forcing users to use its own browser since it started Internet Explorer so many years ago
@lucie_tronvert @Vivaldi @jon I get Microsoft is a little worse in how it enforces it. But all macOS come preinstalled with Safari and the majority of people will just stick to the defaults. Plus in iOS and ipadOS you have to run Apple's browser engine no matter what browser you use. All tech companies favour their own software and we should be trying to change that with all of them, not just Microsoft
