BrowserChoice.eu was a website created by Microsoft in March 2010 following a decision in Microsoft Corp. v. European Commission. The case involved legal proceedings by the European Union against Microsoft and found that, by including Internet Explorer with their market-dominant Windows operating system, Microsoft had used this dominance to create a similar market position in the web browser market. The BrowserChoice.eu website was created to allow users that had not made, or were unaware of, a choice to try other browsers, and thus comply with the European Commission's ruling.
Microsoft's legal obligation to display the website expired in December 2014.[1] It was discontinued on December 18, 2014, stating only "[visit] the websites of web browser vendors directly",[2] before going offline during 2015.[3]
