Apple, Google, And Microsoft Suffer As Small Browsers Gain Market Share After This New Law Made It Easier To Switch To Rivals
Portfolio Pulse from Rounak Jain
The EU's Digital Markets Act, effective from March 7, has led to a significant increase in user numbers for independent browser companies, challenging the dominance of Apple, Microsoft, and Google. This legislation requires major tech companies to offer a choice of web browsers to mobile users, resulting in growth for browsers like Aloha, Vivaldi, Ecosia, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and Opera. Apple, Microsoft, and Google have complied with the new regulations, which aim to eliminate unfair competition and make it easier for users to switch to rival services.
