researchers from Mozilla ensured that operating system manufacturers such as Google D microsoft they “force” their users to use their own browsers.

The accusation was brought by the company after publishing a report on the situation with browsers on devices in a document that mentions “walled gardens.”

Microsoft vs. the system

Researchers from Mozilla found that every platform maker “wants to keep people within their walled garden” by directing desktop and mobile users to Apple Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge.

“Top Five Platforms Today (Google, apple, target, amazon, Microsoft) they link their respective browsers to their operating systems and set them as the default operating system on the main home screen or dock. Mozilla.

Mozilla states that while many people report knowing how to install a browser in theory, “many people never install an alternative browser in practice.”

Browser users, he argues, also fear that the change will cost them years of data such as passwords, bookmarks and history, and because operating system developers aren’t helping to make it easy to transfer that data, further changes become more difficult.

“The lack of browser diversity leaves people open when it comes to improving security and privacy. Browsers run on a “browser engine,” which significantly affects the capabilities of the browser,” he said. Mozilla.
