Microsoft already faced an antitrust suit about this issue several years ago. It resulted in the mandatory browser choice ballot when first starting a new Windows system.[0]

Can't every app be considered a "browser" nowadays? I mean, every app contacts the internet, and displays results based on data from the internet.

I'm not sure if it is fair to draw the line at web browsers that render HTML.
