Google has signed up with European regulators in an attack on Microsoft dominance of the Web browser market.

Another rival, Opera, prompted the European Commission to open an investigation into whether Microsoft's bundling of its Web browser with the Windows operating system had stifled competition and innovation.

However Google is also trying to elbow its way into the browser market with its Chrome offering. Apparently Google hopes to build a case as to why Microsoft should be required to level the playing field for Chrome and other competing browsers.

Sundar Pichai, a Google vice president said that creating a remedy that helps solve one problem without creating other unintended consequences isn't easy.

The Mozilla Foundation, which makes Firefox, already have offered to help the European Commission in a Microsoft smack down.
