Europe’s second-highest court on Wednesday morning dismissed an appeal by OPERA LTD-ADR challenging the European Commission's decision to exempt MICROSOFT CORP's Edge browser from the Digital Markets Act. The ruling upholds the regulator's finding that Edge does not constitute an essential gateway for businesses to reach consumers. The case stems from a challenge filed by the browser maker based in Norway against the antitrust decision issued from Belgium's capital.
