A July 14, 2026, report titled *Over The Edge 2.0*, published by researchers Dr. Harry Brignull and Cennydd Bowles at Mozilla's request, concludes that Microsoft continues to steer users towards Edge across Windows, Edge, Bing, and Copilot through deceptive practices. Key findings show Windows Search and Widgets ignore users' default browser choices, Edge injects a banner into the Chrome download page on google.com, and Windows Backup does not consistently preserve browser preferences when migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11. The researchers retested practices across Windows 10 and Windows 11 in the USA, India, the UK, and Germany. In the European Economic Area, regulation forced Microsoft to remove some worst patterns, building a relatively fairer user experience. Outside the EEA—especially in India, Brazil, and the US—nearly every documented harmful pattern remains in force. Mozilla is asking Microsoft to ship the fairer designs globally. Kush Amlani, Global Competition and Regulatory Lead at Mozilla, stated, "Microsoft has shown that it can respect user choice. When regulators are watching, they make some changes." Windows powers roughly 65% of desktop devices worldwide, impacting over 1.4 billion users. In India, nearly 43% of Windows users were still on Windows 10 as of Q1 2026.
