![]() ![]() ![]() For better or worse - I think worse - you're stuck with Edge.Īccording to Daniel Aleksandersen, who created the free EdgeDeflector app, which intercepts Windows all-common embedded microsoft-edge:// links and redirects them to regular links, his approximately 500,000 users can no longer avoid Edge with his program. In the past, you could replace Edge as your default browser. That's no way to win friends and influence users. No one much minded that legacy Edge was put out with the trash, but when people switched on their PCs they saw Edge launch itself demand to replace your existing browser pin itself to the desktop and taskbar and then when you tried to open a website, it asked if you really wanted to use Firefox instead of Edge. Last year, not long after Microsoft introduced its Chrome-based version of Edge, it pushed the revamped Edge onto all systems when they updated to Windows 10, version 2004. Users are always complaining about being forced to use Edge. For example, in Windows 10 if you open an MSN news article, the default is to show you the page in Edge. For example, in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17623 in 2018, Microsoft began "testing a change where links clicked on within the Windows Mail app will open in Microsoft Edge." This is not the first time Microsoft has tried to force Edge down users’ throats, just as it did with Internet Explorer in the 1990s. So, for example, if I sent you an e-mail with a link to one of my favorite xkcd cartoons and you opened it in Outlook on a PC with this preview version of Windows 11, it would open in Edge - even if your preferred browser is Chrome. In case you haven't heard, a new Windows 11 Insider Preview build gets in the way of workarounds that enable users to set up other web browsers, such as Firefox and Chrome, as defaults for handling web links. ![]()
