Residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, will soon experience less intrusive Microsoft services on their Windows 11 systems. This is in response to the European Commission's Digital Markets Act.

@eunews how to install Firefox without browser?

@juliank @eunews You can install Firefox through both the command-line Windows Package Manager (winget) or the Microsoft Store.

Also, back in the 2010s Windows 7 used to have a browser installer which you were able to use to install most browsers out there without the need to use Internet Explorer after a Windows installation. They could also bring that back if needed.
