First, in legalese you normally use 'and' here, even if you technically mean 'and/or'. I do not see how to parse the rule in the way you suggest. It just prevents Microsoft from creating or funding new Trident-based browsers to add to the list In fact, the browser selection was based on market share, and the ordering was alphabetical, and this was documented in the agreement and in the news. If it had, there would have been news about Microsoft doing it instead of Google. > but Google definitely did auctions in their equivalent EU agreement for search, so it's likely MS did the same. The agreement explicitly called for the top 12 browsers by market share to be included in the screen, which included several Trident browsers not funded by Microsoft.

But none of the browsers in the browser choice screen other than IE were funded by Microsoft. It just prevents Microsoft from creating or funding new Trident-based browsers to add to the list. > which is based on Internet Explorer's rendering engine and the development or distribution of which is funded in whole or in substantial part by Microsoft The entire messaging of this OS is dystopian corpo garbage and then people are shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that it's a monopolistic shitpile kicking your civil rights in the nuts at every turn. Ever noticed how the 'what application you wanna use for this file type?' dialog pop ups every time any application is installed that can handle that type? Ever noticed how this dialog always has Microsoft's option at the top of the list? Ever noticed this dialog pops up after some updates because the Microsoft option has been updated so it's a Totally New Experience that You Really Ought To Try Now? Ever noticed how every few months you'll get a giant screen filling modal pop-up on login telling you to create a Microsoft account Right Now or Else? Ever noticed how Windows 10 shows a full-screen 'Leave everything to us' banner during installation? Ever noticed the FOMO ads on the lock screen ('Windows brings you closer to what you love in life', 'Don't miss any European soccer!')? Ever noticed the cringy 'Just one more thing' and 'Let's get you set up' system modals? Ever noticed how you have to lie to the setup wizard in order to not have a Microsoft account ('I don't have internet')? Microsoft is very consistent in aggressively promoting their own stuff at every turn.
