if microsoft is abusing their OS market share to push edge and bing, they are doing an awfully bad job of it.

Based on the frequency with which Windows 10 decides to reset my default browser to Edge "because reasons" I disagree.

Google accepted the anti-consumer challenge: on Android, links from Google Assistant and Google News feed ignore phone's default browser setting, and open in Chrome instead.

Not only has Chrome near monopoly, cemented by being the default preinstalled browser - they feel the urge to nip even the tiny insignificant competition in the bud.

that does sound very annoying (although as a Win10 user myself, I can't say I've ever experienced this), but it's not exactly an antitrust issue when edge and IE combined have captured only ~10% of the browser market.
