<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>New Delhi: Mozilla, the developer of Firefox Internet browser, has hit out at the trinity of Apple<\/a>, Google<\/a> and Microsoft<\/a>, saying their operating systems make it very difficult for browsers like open source Firefox to be used on the platforms they control.

In a report, Mozilla said that these operating systems make it \"difficult or impossible for a consumer to switch browsers,\" by setting the company's own browser as the default and in prime position on the home screen.

One of the ways Mozilla seeks to do this is through developing and investing in its own Gecko browser engine.

\"This matters because there are only three main browser engine providers left: Google, Apple and Mozilla - but Apple's engine only runs on Apple devices. So, without Mozilla, the only cross-platform browser engine would be provided by Google,\" said the report.

\"Putting the development of cross-platform web browsers in the hands of a single company creates not only a concentration of power, but also a single point of failure,\" it added.

The Mozilla Firefox browser had a 3.16 per cent market share worldwide in August.

Apple
Safari<\/a> and Microsoft Edge<\/a> browsers have 18.78 per cent and 4.3 per cent market share, respectively.

The web browsing market is dominated by
Google Chrome<\/a>, at 65.52 per cent market share, according to web traffic analysis website StatCounter.

Mozilla said in its research report that even when an alternative browser is downloaded and selected as default, this decision is not applied in all circumstances.

\"The operating system provider will in some scenarios bypass this decision and present their own browser rather than the selected default and in other cases it will seek to undermine or reverse this decision,\" it lamented.

Mozilla said that as Big Tech has so far failed to do better, \"regulators, policymakers and lawmakers have spent considerable time and resources investigating digital markets\".

\"They should, therefore, be in a good position to recognise the importance of browser competition and to act to prevent further harm to consumers from continued inaction and competitive stagnation,\" the company said.

Mozilla called on them \"to enforce the laws which already exist and the laws and regulations which will soon come into force\".

新德里:Mozilla Firefox网络浏览器的开发者,抨击的三位一体苹果,谷歌微软,称他们的操作系统使它像开源浏览器Firefox很难被用在他们控制的平台。

Mozilla的一份报告中说,这些操作系统使它“消费者困难或不可能换浏览器,“通过设置公司自己的浏览器作为默认和黄金位置在主屏幕上。

Mozilla希望这样做的方法之一是通过开发和投资于自己的壁虎浏览器引擎。

“这很重要,因为只有3家主安浏览器引擎提供商左:谷歌、苹果和Mozilla,但苹果的引擎只苹果设备上运行。所以,没有Mozilla,唯一跨平台浏览器引擎将由谷歌提供的,”报告说。

“把开发跨平台的web浏览器的一个公司创造不仅是权力集中,而且一个单点故障,”它补充道。

Mozilla Firefox浏览器有一个8月全球3.16%的市场份额。

苹果Safari微软的优势浏览器分别为18.78%和4.3%的市场份额。

网页浏览市场主导谷歌浏览器在65.52%的市场份额,根据网络流量分析StatCounter的网站。

Mozilla在其研究报告中表示,即使另一个浏览器下载并选为默认情况下,这个决定并不是在所有情况下应用。

“操作系统供应商将在某些情况下绕过这个决定和现在自己的浏览器,而不是选择违约,在其他情况下,它将寻求破坏或改变这个决定,”它哀叹。

Mozilla说,随着大型技术迄今为止未能做得更好,“监管机构、政策制定者和议员们花了大量的时间和资源调查数字市场”。

因此,“他们应该处于很好的位置识别浏览器竞争的重要性,采取行动以防止进一步损害消费者继续无所作为和竞争停滞,”该公司表示。

Mozilla呼吁他们“执行的法律已经存在和即将生效的法律法规”。
