New European Union browser choice rules have directed millions of additional users to the Firefox browser. Mozilla estimates this change will significantly increase its user numbers. This shift is a result of new rules impacting how users select their default web browsers. This is attributed to the EU's Digital Markets Act, which mandates default browser selection options.
