Microsoft is to ask millions of users across Europe if they want to use a web browser other than its own.

Windows users will be offered the choice as part of a deal Microsoft struck with the European Commission.

The agreement resolves a long-running case in which the software giant was accused of abusing its market position.

A pop-up window will prompt people to choose and install one of 12 different browsers or let them stick with Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Browser choices:

1. Avant
2. Chrome
3. Firefox
4. Flock
5. Green Browser
6. Internet Explorer
7. K-meleon
8. Maxthon
9. Opera
10. Safari
11. Sleipnir
12. Slim
