EdgeDeflector VS Remove-MS-Edge

I used to use Bing to DuckDuckGo in conjunction with EdgeDeflector to ensure all links that open Edge and Bing redirect to Firefox and DDG instead, but EdgeDeflector no longer works now, so I guess I don't need that extension anymore. Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't realized till now that the extension wasn't necessary anymore.

There's also the dark bit where changing your default browser in Windows doesn't apply globally.

That is, some UI widgets will still open Edge even if you change the default.

There used to be an awesome open source project called EdgeDeflector that would fix that. Microsoft got wise to it and found a way to neutralize it, which killed the project. https://github.com/da2x/EdgeDeflector

1) Install EdgeDeflector. (Note: Edge deflector is deprecated without the next fix. You no longer need to browse into Default Apps to select EdgeDeflector).

It’s a very intentional thing that Microsoft ignores the default browser in many cases. They’ve already killed one workaround tool that fixes this: https://github.com/da2x/EdgeDeflector

Idk if Edgeeflector can actually overcome this but it worth a try yk

*cough* edgedeflector *cough*

It probably opens Edge anyway, so you could use EdgeDeflector to handle the browser opening.

If it is still to complicate, you can use third party tool, like Remove-MS-Edge. He also have Sourcecode to doublecheck.
