Mozilla 批微软借 Copilot 强推 Edge
Mozilla 发布博客称，距其报告《Over The Edge 2.0》发布已满 100 天；该报告由欺骗性设计专家 Harry Brignull 与 Cennydd Bowles 撰写，指 Windows、Edge、Bing 和 Copilot 的设计把用户从自己选择的浏览器引开。Mozilla 称在欧盟《数字市场法》约束下微软被迫“守规矩”，而在美国、英国、印度等地仍采用类似做法，并举例称 Copilot 在侧边栏而非默认浏览器中打开网页链接、Windows 备份恢复时“悄悄”把 Edge 设为默认。Mozilla 表示已加大公开施压并联系监管机构与政策制定者，希望美、英、印、巴西监管方关注；TechRadar 已向微软请求置评，文中未提及微软是否回应。
浏览器是 AI 服务的分发入口，默认浏览器之争可能影响用户接触到哪些 AI 工具及其隐私与安全设置。
- Mozilla accused Microsoft of using Windows, Edge, Bing, and Copilot to steer users toward Edge
- Firefox maker claims stricter EU regulations force fairer browser choice than elsewhere
- Browser competition increasingly overlaps with the fight for AI distribution and user reach
Mozilla has accused Microsoft of abusing its dominant position wherever it can to push people towards Edge, and away from other browsers.
The company framed the story as if it wants “better for the people”, while Microsoft only does it when it’s forced to, but is that really the case?
In a newly released blog, Mozilla noted it has now been 100 days since it published Over The Edge 2.0, a report from “leading experts on deceptive design Dr. Harry Brignull and Cennydd Bowles on how Windows, Edge, Bing, and Copilot are designed to steer people away from the browser they choose.”
Better for the people
In the report, Mozilla said that in the European Economic Area (EEA), where the Digital Market Acts (DMA) is being enforced, Microsoft is forced to “play fair”.
