Microsoft hit with Opera complaint to Brazilian antitrust regulator
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Norwegian browser maker Opera filed a complaint about U.S. tech giant Microsoft to Brazilian antitrust authority CADE on Tuesday alleging its Edge browser has an unfair advantage, underscoring the long-running rivalry between the two companies.
Opera complained to the European Commission in December 2007 about Microsoft tying its Internet Explorer browser to its Windows operating system. The case eventually ended with a 561 million-euro ($648 million) EU antitrust fine for the U.S. company.
In July last year, Opera took the Commission to court for exempting Edge from the Digital Markets Act, which aims to rein in the power of Big Tech via a list of dos and don'ts.
In its complaint to CADE seen by Reuters, Opera alleged that Microsoft's pre-installation of Edge as the default browser across Windows devices and computers prevents rivals from competing on the merits of the products.
"Microsoft thwarts browser competition on Windows at every turn. First, browsers like Opera are locked out of important preinstallation opportunities," Opera's general counsel, Aaron McParlan, said in a statement.
"And then Microsoft frustrates users' ability to download and use alternative browsers," he said.
Microsoft had no immediate comment.
Opera, which said it is the third-most popular PC browser in Brazil, added that Microsoft's alleged tactics included giving incentives to major PC manufacturers to pre-install Edge exclusively on Windows on all their Windows devices.
Opera had 6.78% of the desktop browser market in Brazil in June, according to StatCounter, versus Edge's 11.52% while Google's Chrome held a commanding 75%.
Opera also alleged that Microsoft used anti-competitive measures such as design tactics or dark patterns to steer PC users away from rival browsers to Edge.
Opera called on CADE to investigate Microsoft and to demand concessions to ensure fair competition.

Microsoft Set to Hit $4 Trillion Market Cap After Earnings Beat
Microsoft Corp. is set to become the second company in the world to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization after reporting quarterly earnings that beat Wall Street's expectations, sending the stock soaring in extended trading Wednesday. Shares of the technology behemoth jumped as much as 9% to more than $560 in late New York trading, and if even a portion of the gain holds through Thursday's market open, Microsoft will reach a market value of $4 trillion. Nvidia Corp. became the first company to hit the milestone earlier this month.

Earnings live: Microsoft, Meta stocks surge; Robinhood beats; Ford warns on tariff exposure
Second quarter earnings season is in full swing, and the results have been largely positive so far, with more positive surprises than negative ones. Companies had a lower bar to clear coming into the quarter, as analysts tempered their expectations amid President Trump's tariffs, stocks' lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy. This week, investors will be treated to another flurry of quarterly results from Big Tech companies, including Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN). This week's reports also include updates from Spotify (SPOT), Ford (F), Procter & Gamble (PG), Boeing (BA), Starbucks (SBUX), and Qualcomm (QCOM), among others. Data from FactSet published Friday showed that with 34% of the index having reported results, analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report a 5.6% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter. Heading into the quarter, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, which would mark the slowest pace of earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2023. Here are the latest updates from corporate America. Microsoft posts Q4 beats on top and bottom lines on cloud, AI strength Microsoft (MSFT) stock climbed 6% after hours after the tech giant posted strong earnings and cloud strength.
