These changes are only applicable to users in the EEA. For those outside the region, Windows will continue to function as it is!
The changes to Windows for DMA-compliance include:
- You can now uninstall Edge and Bing web search using the built-in settings. Earlier, the option was greyed out.
- Third-party web search application developers can now utilize the Windows search box in the taskbar using the instructions provided by Microsoft and choose any web browser to show results from the web.
- Microsoft will no longer sign-in users to Edge, Bing, and Microsoft Start services during the initial Windows setup experience.
- Data collected about the functioning of non-Microsoft apps, primarily bug detection and its effects on the OS, from Windows PCs will not be used for competitive purposes.
- Microsoft, from now on, will need explicit user consent before combining data from the OS and other sources. It will also deliver new consent screens where required.
But you can change the webview
By rootin’ tootin’ my device you mean?
Very funny. No, by installing any other browser that can replace the webview. (almost) Any chrome or Firefox forks can do it.
In dev settings is an option “Webview implementation” where you can pick any.
Yes, but in my stock Samsung only ever shows one option.
Im happy to hear this should be this easy, will look into it, thx.
Edit: ohh, I have to figure out how to install it ‘for all users’.
Edit: Im gonna try with adb, can’t figure out the install as user 0 part (only as user or work user).
