Underdog, and Microsoft. fuck off, Nadella.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A Microsoft spokesperson told The Register: "We accept our designation as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act and will continue to work with the European Commission to meet the obligations imposed on Windows and LinkedIn under the DMA.

“Microsoft is basically fighting it,” said Vivaldi CEO Jon von Tetzchner in an interview with The Register.

Warming to his theme, Von Tetzchner noted other ways that users were nudged Edgewards at the expense of alternatives – such as his company’s Vivaldi browser.

We should be clear that it is possible to change the default browser within Windows, although the process is perhaps not the easiest to follow, particularly considering the plaintive cries from Edge at nearly every step of the way.

“My impression is that Google wants to kind of follow the rules, on other hand, trying to find their best way to make them less effective,” he said.

Unsurprisingly, Von Tetzchner also had harsh words about Apple, whose restrictions have meant that the iOS version of Vivaldi has had to be based on WebKit.
