Brave also used this workaround. When workarounds are used by a few (EdgeDeflector), this methods usually pass under the radar... When a lot of users start using them they're quickly patched. Sadly, this fix shows that you can't bully the bullies in their own turf. But Microsoft should never forget the Antitrust lawsuit back in 2001.

Perhaps its time to consider a serious look at another one?

Because this time around, MS can point at the entire FAANG and say "why aren't you doing anything about _them_?" Which would be deflection, of course ("whatever, we aren't talking about FAANG right now") but politically strong enough, IMO, to make it scary to sue any of the big tech unless you're willing to go against all of them.

This behavior is tolerated, and even defended, so far as the others go ("it's their platform").

There needs to be a serious reality check before any form of litigation could work.
