A company giving special access to it's competition on a platform they control is usually used as an indicator of not being anticompetitive.

I hadn't considered it from a "collusion" angle.

it would be different if it was for all it's competition.

Eh, when Microsoft was required to ask you which browser you wanted, they didn't need to offer every browser, just theirs, firefox and Chrome.

This could definitely be collusion, but I don't think that not extending it to all competitiors is what makes it that.

Microsoft didn't make the other browsers pay for the privilege of being a browser though.
