    As browser developers, we believe PC users\u2019 choices should be free and respected, not controlled, distorted, or ignored.<\/p>

    Este princ\u00edpio une a Browser Choice Alliance na promo\u00e7\u00e3o de um mundo digital em que os utilizadores de PC controlam a sua pr\u00f3pria experi\u00eancia em linha, podem escolher o seu navegador preferido sem manipula\u00e7\u00e3o ou interfer\u00eancia, confiam que as suas prefer\u00eancias ser\u00e3o respeitadas e participam num mercado em que os navegadores competem por m\u00e9rito.<\/p>

    A abordagem adoptada pela Microsoft \u00e9 claramente diferente.<\/p>

    A Microsoft aproveita a sua posi\u00e7\u00e3o imensamente poderosa como fornecedora do omnipresente sistema operativo Windows para PC, bem como de muitas aplica\u00e7\u00f5es de produtividade e outras aplica\u00e7\u00f5es obrigat\u00f3rias, para empurrar os utilizadores para o seu navegador de origem, o Edge, atrav\u00e9s de t\u00e1cticas que restringem, distorcem e subvertem a escolha do utilizador.

      Microsoft\u2019s actions make it unnecessarily difficult and, in many cases, impossible for PC users to select and use their preferred browser across all touchpoints.<\/p>

      Os PCs s\u00e3o um dos principais pontos de acesso \u00e0 Web, desempenhando um papel fundamental no trabalho, na produtividade e noutras actividades online de elevado valor. Al\u00e9m disso, a import\u00e2ncia dos PCs s\u00f3 est\u00e1 a aumentar na era da IA generativa, sendo os PCs particularmente adequados para casos de utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o de IA importantes, como a codifica\u00e7\u00e3o, a investiga\u00e7\u00e3o profunda e muito mais.<\/p>

      Quando a Microsoft utiliza o seu ecossistema Windows para orientar os utilizadores para o seu pr\u00f3prio browser desta forma, restringe a escolha do utilizador, mina a liberdade da Web e inclina injustamente o campo de jogo a seu favor e longe da concorr\u00eancia leal e da inova\u00e7\u00e3o. Durante muitos anos, estas pr\u00e1ticas frustraram os utilizadores e come\u00e7aram agora a ser analisadas por entidades reguladoras de todo o mundo.<\/p>

      Microsoft\u2019s practices vary over time and between jurisdictions. They may be inconsistently applied or appear intermittently, sometimes differing from one user to another. Nevertheless, Microsoft\u2019s basic approach remains constant: leveraging its dominant Windows OS and productivity software to favor its own browser to the exclusion of others.<\/p>

      Apelamos \u00e0 Microsoft para que respeite os seus utilizadores e implemente as seguintes altera\u00e7\u00f5es imediatamente e a n\u00edvel mundial:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
