    I’m pretty sure that is no longer the case.

    I haven’t had any trouble switching my default browser around recently, at least.

    That said, they still tried and showed the lows they’re willing to stoop to.

      I installed a brand new Windows 11 on Friday and it’s still the case.

      You can change the default browser with two clicks, but if you go to the default file type associations you’ll find a ton of shit still associated with edge, so that Windows can force-open it if you dare to click on anything remotely link-esque anywhere in the Windows Explorer.

      Edge is ingrained into the OS like a virus that launches itself all the bloody time.

      Yeah just did a fresh install and once I installed Waterfox I just had to click a single button when prompted.

      However this was Tiny11 so I am unsure if that applies equally to normal Win11.
