EU Court Rejects Opera Challenge Against Microsoft's Edge Exemption

The European General Court has rejected Opera's challenge against the EU's decision to exempt Microsoft's browser Edge from the Digital Markets Act (DMA) rules. The court upheld the Commission's decision, stating that Edge is not an important gateway for businesses to reach users, even though it meets the quantitative criteria set out under the DMA.

The case was brought by Opera Norway, which argued against the EU's exemption of Microsoft's browser from the DMA rules. However, the court ruled in favor of the Commission, citing that Edge does not have a significant impact on businesses' ability to reach users.
