Microsoft, famous in TYOOL 2024 for having a monopoly on internet browsing.

internet explorer died but the web browser antitrust action was incredibly stupid and had absolutely nothing to do with it, and ie (or now edge) has continued to be bundled with windows to this day. but it stagnated and rotted like every single long running microsoft project without exception has and people moved on when the alternatives became vastly better for both web developers and users. consumers were not protected or helped in any way by the browser case and the course of history would have been the same without it.

this isn’t a condemnation of antitrust laws, just the terrible and useless ways the doj (pretends to) apply them to protect consumers.

Specifically, the final settlement stopped Microsoft from contractually obligating OEMs to only install and advertise Internet Explorer, and other Microsoft software, on the Windows based machines they manufactured.

They also required Microsoft to reveal the APIs by which IE interacted with Windows, so no hidden stuff in Windows to make IE artificially faster than other browsers

So while it didn't kill them bundling IE in Windows, it does look like it may have made other browsers viable at all

E: additionally required the ability to uninstall their software, and required the ability to set the default browser/software used by Windows processes

Yes but it didn't end homelessness or war or dismantle capitalism, antitrust is actually extremely fail

this isn’t a condemnation of antitrust laws, just the terrible and useless ways the doj (pretends to) apply them to protect consumers.

So Firefox and Chrome would have still ended up winning market share if Microsoft had been allowed to force default IE forever on Windows, have it redefaulted without user input, have desktop shortcuts regularly automatically reordered to only have IE there, and made it impossible to develop a browser using the same OS level connections (APIs as defined in the settlement)?

It's not like they wouldn't have done all those things.. Apple did exactly that with Safari and WebKit.

I can definitely see the issue with getting a settlement at all due to there being a second player in mobile OSes, but surely these measures would be good for customers, I don't see how they wouldn't be.
