These changes are only applicable to users in the EEA. For those outside the region, Windows will continue to function as it is!
The changes to Windows for DMA-compliance include:
- You can now uninstall Edge and Bing web search using the built-in settings. Earlier, the option was greyed out.
- Third-party web search application developers can now utilize the Windows search box in the taskbar using the instructions provided by Microsoft and choose any web browser to show results from the web.
- Microsoft will no longer sign-in users to Edge, Bing, and Microsoft Start services during the initial Windows setup experience.
- Data collected about the functioning of non-Microsoft apps, primarily bug detection and its effects on the OS, from Windows PCs will not be used for competitive purposes.
- Microsoft, from now on, will need explicit user consent before combining data from the OS and other sources. It will also deliver new consent screens where required.
Yeah this is bullshit get the payroll conspiracy theories out of here. Edge did provide the webview but it likely does not anymore.
what the fuck are you even talking about? Webview? I’m talking about forum manipulators here you chatbot reject.
This claim isn’t bullshit. I don’t know the extent, but I know that when I worked at Microsoft they had datacenters dedicated to NVIDIA Tesla GPUs mining Reddit data… now they host ChatGPT. Are you even familiar with Playwright & Puppeteer. You honestly find it hard to believe that they manipulate social media? I guess some people really want to believe that what they see online is organic.
