Microsoft keeps making it harder to use the default browser choice in Windows 10 or 11, even when you select something else, Edge opens from widgets, and Start menu links. Let's stop that.
In this week's recap, we take a look at Microsoft's continued efforts to make Edge your default browser, significant changes to Windows, and a new Dev Channel build, among many other things.
In both Windows 10 and Windows 11, it is no longer possible to redirect links that open in the default browser since yesterday's Patch Tuesday updates. Fortunately, there is a new workaround.
With the recent Windows 11 Dev Channel Insider build 22509, Microsoft introduced a new "Set default" option that makes it less tedious to select the default web browser for various file types.
Microsoft has been really trying to promote Edge amongst people so that it can gain more regular users. There are now funny pop-ups when trying to download Google Chrome on Edge, and a lot more.
Following the block on third-parties to easily switch the default browser in Windows 11, Microsoft has now publicly admitted that its implementation is actually a "fix" for "improper redirection".
